Thanks guys. So I can just get a new diaphram? I'll look around on the net. Hopefully this fixes the problem/.

Youll have to try find one and you need to buy the whole actuator the diaphragm is not sold on its on --------------------  |

You will also want to make sure the wastegate itself opens up freely. When the actuator is disconnected, make sure it doesn't hit the inner part of the downpipe flange when it opens (many cheap downpipes have been known to interfere with the wastegate). -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you get the wastegate actuator arm off the lever that opens the flapper door? I don't have a good view and I'm trying to get this thing off without removing the entire turbo.

So I know my wastegate actuator is F'ed, but I disconnected the vac lines going to it to see if I would build any boost in 1st and 2nd, but still nothing. It goes to 0 but nothing past that. The flapper door is shut, so shouldn't I be making boost in these gears. Hopefully my turbo isn't messed up. I checked the IC piping for leaks and I can't seem to find any, but I noticed that while driving it seems like there is a definite leak somewhere. My boost gauge will go to 0, but then I hear this hissing sound and it slowly drops back into vacume. Thoughts? Is it time for a new turbo to go along with the new actuator? Is the car still safe to drive as long as I"m not driving it hard? I definitely don't want to mess this engine up

1. your turbo is not messed up.
2. stop checking your boost in 1st and 2nd gear. boost should always be checked in 4th gear. if you can build boost in 4th, your turbo is fine. 3. yes, the car is safe to drive the way it is, as long as you dont over boost it by running with those hoses disconnected. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
