OK, so here is the deal, I went to put on my S14 turbo that I got and it doesn't have a wastegate actuator on it. I thought the T25 actuator would fit, but I was wrong. So does anyone have one they wanna trade me for? Maybe a used T25 for the actuator? Then you could get that Big T28 built! I'm also willing to buy one if it's relatively cheap. Thanks!

try an SR t25 wastegate... that might work! and they're much easier to find!

the CA wastegate doesn't even work with an SR t25, so I think ours is just weird:)

take the opportunity to upgrade and get an HKS adjustable actuator for an S14.

TMS, where do I get one, what does it look like, and how much will it run me?

any dealer that carries HKS product should carry it. It costs about $150.00 and the end is threaded so you can set the boost pressure physically.

Enjuku Racing has them for the S14 in stock. I wanted one for my CA, but they don't fit our T25's... crap!

They are 55 for the S13, and a bit more for the S14's. Go to the website, and click on the SR20DETperformance.com logo. Right on the main page.

Thanks a million joe. I've also got one more for yea. On the intake portion of the compressor housing is 2 bolts where a flange is supposed to mount. How can I make that work for my application. Right now I just have the stock CA intake and it just slips onto the turbo and has a clamp. Any ideas?

Either find someone selling the "intake arm" from an SR turbo, t25 should work, or make your own. Trace out the shape, and weld a round tube to it. Pretty easy stuff.

Plus I think I have seen the "arms" on eBay once or twice before too.

I think I got screwed on this dang turbo. Shaft play (side to side), cliped blade, no wastegate actuator, no intake arm, jeez! I think I'm done with non-ebay purchases, seriously.

I need one too... make your own, shouldn't be too hard... even if you use the one designed for the turbo it won't go to the right place (because you have to clock the compressor housing right? or did I only have to do that with my SR turbo?)

Sean - Do you still have a spare coil-pack laying around? If so I need it. I dropped one yesterday and broke it. Thanks!

TMS - Hey is there anyway you can get a thermostat housing? I accidentally melted mine trying to get the gasket off and now I'm screwed. I tried one for a FWD CA, but it faces the wrong way. It will work for now, but I'd like to put the right one in there if I can. Thanks!
