wastegate differences, will this suffice? Options

[easternpiro1]

Hi all as some of you know Ive been having problems building boost, come to find out its the wastegate. From what i can tell the rod is somewhat bent but im not getting ANY boost all around.


my question is does anybody know of the differences between wastegates between the 3rd adn 4th gen 3sgte? I have a wastegate from my old ct20b but the rod is different....


here is a pic of what im talking about



this is off my old 4th gen turbo^^^

and this is what i currently have on my 4th gen now.



Ive been offered a w/g but before i buy that one, i want to be sure i can use the one i have, and if all else fails, my friend said he has a forge internal W/G I can use... but idk.


thanks!

Matt, I thought you had this sorted out?

If your turbo is making at least 5psi in 4th gear, on the highway then everything is working correctly and you just need to install/setup a boost controller for more boost.

Stock wastegate is setup at 7psi, but that number should be taken with a grain of salt as it depends a lot on weather conditions and most importatnly the accuracy of your boost gauge. Most gauges can read between 1-3 psi from where they should be.

From what I remember, my ct20b has the same slight bend in the rod. It comes like that from the factory.
