Wastegate actuator question

[atlantaM3]

So, haven been searching the forum regarding changing the wastegate actuator - it seems there has been a lot of discussion, but not much consensus on whether or not it is useful to change it from the stock version.

Also, from what I noticed, seems that there is only one tuner that really accounts for that in the tune, while the others are generally 'ok' with the stock part. Correct?

So, has anyone gotten any noticeable 'value' from changing this part on the stock turbo?

Thanks,
J

@Gogoggansgo he is the one that upgraded the wastegate on the stock turbo. There is a detailed thread somewhere.

found it, read through. so given I intend to change the turbo next year, not really worth it.

Thanks for the help!

there are a number of people who have done it and posted about it on the forum, this is the one i'm familiar with Dizzy E40a tune | Fiesta ST Forum

but yeah i came to the same conclusion as @atlantaM3 in that it's not worth doing unless you're keeping the stock turbo
