XR6TD Member 6 Member For: 13y 6m 30d Posted 30/06/11 11:11 PM Share Posted 30/06/11 11:11 PM Hi all,Just had problem with my car being diagnosed as a wastegate fault issue. Apparently it needs to be replaced with a new one. My car is completely standard running factory boost so I will need to replace it with a similarly sized actuator so I dont have to have the car retuned.Ford do not supply these without the turbo attached so sourcing one from Ford is impossible!Does anyone out there have a resonably new Wastegate Actuator that they want to part with, or where can I find a factory sized actuator? I need to get this problem sorted. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is bound to have an old actuator laying around after doing an upgrade on a customers car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to find good service up this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they sell direct to the public but might be worth a shot. They have quite a few locations in QLD. link to MTQES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
