***BOTH SOLD THANKS***

I have two HKS actuators I need to get rid of. I'm looking for $75 each. They are $100 new so you can save $25.

I bought these for my twin turbo but I didn't install them. So they are just sitting around doing nothing.

These are adjustable for T28s but will also fit T25 turbos.

PART #17230-015100

Adjustable up to 1bar.

How can you tell if your stock wastegate is working? If mine is broken (I really think it is because my friend was like forcing it with his hands) then ill take one of these off your hands.

It's adjustable. Lengthen or shorten the rod to decrease or increase the tension, respectively.

Sounds like you have a stuck wastegate. I'm not an expert on internal wastegates and don't know what kind you have but it should be able to be opened by hand.

By the way this is the exact wastegate that FRsport sells for those of you looking for a reference.

actually, if you have it off of the turbo you should be able to pull on the shaft. cause basically the diaphram fills up with boost pressure and pushes the rod out at a certain psi, depending on the spring rate or the length of the shaft. the shaft is connected to the little flapper which initially remains closed until the actuator is pushed out letting the flap open. Depending on how far it opens controlls the amount of boost that goes throughout the ic piping and into the motor.
