wastegate

The waste gate actuator is know to be a POS and kill lots of motor by over boosting. There was one in Bakersfield that I helped locate a motor for last week. Look over Regular Protege and you'll see a thread about locating a motor for a car with a bad WGA.

yes

(yes)

Exactly, that's why almost all the vendors for this forum sell it.
