Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Wastegate options?

[JStemann]

I just got a dodgezilla hybrid in the mail today



I planned to use my existing 12cm housing. Problem is, my existing turbo has a wastegate actuator mounted to the compressor housing. The dz compressor housing doesn't have any way for me to mount my actuator.



Aside from springing for another exh. housing, what other options have you guys used? I don't want to run a 12cm dz w/o a functioning wastegate.



I thought about some type of spring, just concerned it my not do the job and may not be reliable enough.



I'll give city diesel a call tomorrow and see what they say, just thought I'd put it out here and maybe get a few ideas.



Thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your questions, but I went w/ a 14cm housing on my '02 and it is sweet. I have a Piers Hybrid 35 and it really works good.



Let us know what you find out.

you can make a bracket that bolts to the compressor hold down bolts. then bolt the actuator to the bracket. I have had to do that on turbos on my car. works fine. pretty easy to do also. probably the easiest and cheapest route for you.
