Wastegate Actuator Kit?

[Driver_X]

Ok, So i took the car in to the mechanic to have them diagnose a p0171 check engine code. They concluded that I did have a vacuum leak. it was coming from my waste gate actuator. Anyhow they quoted me the price for the part from Mazda to be some where around 300 something. They called it a wastegate actuator kit that was being order. The mechanic said that the kit being order would prevent the problem from occurring again. Does any one know what is include in this kit vs just buying the atp 6psi actuator only? Does anyone recall Mazda making this a known problem that they came up with a solution that would be classified as a recall?

as far as I know, a brand new OEM MSP WGA is around 270 so I wouldn't be surprised. It's not a "kit", it's the actuator and probably the c clip unless they have a way of taking it apart. I would have just got the ATP WGA for 60

the only "kit" would be the wastegate and brand new c-clip for it. other than that i dont see why you would pay $300 for an oem one when the ATP at least from my understanding is a better quality wastegate than OEM and for less than half the price with a new c-clip for it.

Good, I didn't pay the mech to get the oem one (Bogus), thus why i posted here. I thought the same as you guys, just get this ATP-WGT-011B Wastegate Actuator 6 PSI for 64.93 and be on my way.
