Hi guys, I'm in the middle of changing to TT engine from the original troublesome engine/GB for my perdana V6. I don't know am I solving the original problem or just created a new ones with the new engine replaced. I hope not. Everything else about the replacement engine was fine for me except the 2 pcs actuator that stick to each of the T025 turbine.
Picture as shown above. I tried to move it with my bare hand but they hardly move. Actually I have been searching/asking around ZTH about the possibility of changing the actuator to external wastegate. Lots of views saying it's rather a nightmare to fit the ext wastegate for the back turbine near the firewall. no space . Fitting 2 pcs external wastegate was my first choice. If you had done this on TT engine please share here about what brand/size and where to do the job. Because this is actually what I wanted to do.
I still have strong feeling that I need to change the actuator either to ext wastegate or to the same one but new ones. I can't afford to see my engine kebaboom on the first week after engine conversion. Further more i'm tend to have a stable boost system for years. Finding out that ext wastegate is hard to fit, I'm now going for actuator. Due to my lack of knowledge, i appreciate if you can share what brand and where to do the job/buy that thing. I heard lot of HKS actuator but with higher spring rate. Can you exactly tell a place i can go and have a look.I would like to have 0.5 bar spring rate if possible.It's enough for my daily driving. I'm looking for a good workmanship shop.
thanks very much!!
