Need a waste gate ASAP!

[Wahoo]

I'm not getting very good results searching, I have a '85 and my waste gate is broken. I already tested it with 20psi on the right side of the diaphragm with the rod disconnected and it will not move the actuator rod.

Even tried on both sides to be safe and the rod doesn't move.

Is there an aftermarket unit I should look into? I want to be able to drive my car and tune it.

I have replaced a couple of those dual diaphram early units with the 1986-7 wastegates with good results.

Just be sure you plumb it correctly.

Don't you need to bend the mounts and drill new holes?

The Garrett exhaust housings are nearly identical from HA to intercooled so a later wastegate will work.

If you want the most simple fix, just wire the puck closed and you can easily get max boost which is not a lot.

What do you mean wire it closed?

Also it made like 25psi which I don't know if my stock injectors or non hot wired fuel pump can handle. But I guess we will see since I believe my adjustable fuel pressure regulator came in
