20g question

[sleepy]

I have a 20g turbo that I bought from TEC a few years ago (I believe they are gone now), and the wastegate lever has siezed in the housing. I have gotten it to move slightly, but not enough to work right. I am asking you guys what you think the solution could be. I am cheap like most of us, but want the same (or of course more) performance, so I choose not to install the old stocker, but either fix or replace what I have.

Can anyone tell me how to figure out what exhaust housing I have, and what do you guys think my options are with this? I am not against replacing this with a larger turbo, but am looking at options right now.

What do you all think???

Re: 20g question

Purchase that 12 CM housing that a guy was selling here.
More than likely your 20G has a 14 cm housing, not good for a stock torque converter.

Post the P.N. here or maybe there might be a number on the inlet to the turbine wheel.,
It will be casted into the housing ,,,maybe?

Don't have a stock converter - it's a 3200 - 3400 stall. I'll have to check out the turbo when I get back home (this week) and post the info here...

Relatively common... mine's done it for years.

Grind the weld flush on the arm. Mark the location with a chisel. Take a punch, and punch the shaft back into the turbo.

Pull the flapper assembly out. Take a drill, and run it up and down in the shaft bore, clean out the rust..

Reassemble the flapper shaft with never seize grease, and spot weld the arm back on, aligning the chisel marks.
