Hello everyone, new guy. I have found most of what i need to know by searching...this sitde has alot of info, but after finding ou my wastegate actuator was bad i bought the atp one evryone else is replacing with. So i take off the old one only to find out it is not the stock actuator or bracket. Someone put this on there for more boost im gathering. But anyway, i am in need of a stock replacement bracket. Does any one have a part number for me or where to look?
 
i found a bracket on atp turbo site that is titled "wastegate bracket,gt25r,unmodified", the only number for the part is SPECL-BRACKET-9000 but there is no picture. It costs 29 bucks. Is this the part i need?
 
now im wondering if the turbo is stock t25. The bracket that came off of it looks exactly like the one they sell for the gt28. I dont see any markings on it though.
 
ok so i guess my question would be, will the modified garrett bracket that is made for the gt28 to run the 011B actuator i bought still fit on the t25 stock turbo? that way if it will work it wont matter what turbo i have.
 
Well i have a gt28 turbo on my car. So the parts i bought did not fit. Sucky...But hopefully I have the right part on the way. The wastegate bracket that is on it now is the flat style t28 bracket and I looked up the part number on the broken actuator and it was a 12- 14 psi unit. Wow, right. The broken actuator is also very short with the s-bend adj. rod. So, I got the atp-wgt-019 set for 7 psi. It looks exactly like the one that came off of it, the size and s-bend adj. rod. Hopefully this gets me back on the road.
 
I got the new actuator on that was suppose to be a 7 psi unit. Got everything together and it is pulling a steady 11 pds of boost witch is way to much for my current setup. It pulls hard and steady at 11 until it starts to fuel cut. Everything on the car is the way it should be, no leaks, runs great, except to much boost. I was thinking of getting a boost controller. I know that they turn boost up but will it turn the boost down as well, from where its running now without one?
 
I don't think boost controllers go below whatever the wga is set at

^Correct. If your WGA arm is adjustable see if you can loosen it a little bit. The only options you have to reduce boost are 1) a softer spring in the WGA 2) less pre-load on the WGA spring 3) A different WGA.
