Hey all,

I am going to buy:

A wastegate actuator
A boost guage.

Can anyone recommend where I can get these bits or what to use. There is so much aftermarket stuff I have no idea.

I am going to take the turbo off and try and fix the wastegate itself.

I reckon I will need a new gasket. Is there a standard part no# for the Mitsubishi Turbo - GMC exhaust?

What aother turbos have people used and how difficult is it to get them to marry up with the Garret Charge Air Cooler and exhaust manifold?

many thanks,

Mark

Re: Suggested Parts

www.hahnracecraft.com sells the actuator you need.

There is no gasket between the turbo and manifold or between the turbo and DP.

Hahn also sells the Mistu 20G trubos that are direct bolt ons.

Those fuel pumps I have never heard of but they are rated the same as a Walbro. 255lph.
Could it be possible they are actually selling a Walbro pump with their name on it?
Also consider buying the fuel pump and harness kit from www.racetronix.com
It upgrades the fuel pump wiring and relay to assure you are getting 100% of your WOT voltage to the pump.

Re: Suggested Parts

thanks mate!


Any ideas on the Boost guage?

Also, with the new fuel pump (thanks for the websites) what about an AFPR|?

is an AFPR a component or a brand name? Any recommendations there?

thanks again!

afpr= adjustable feul pressure regulator, stock aren't adjustable, and you need them for tuning

Re: Suggested Parts

not tested old one but thought I may as well get a shiny new one while I was at it.

Just spoke to the guy at Hahn and they have Mitsu 20Gs available but I am not sure if I want a better turbo..

been reading all about the PTE - 44s and the 67 S turbos.

Just a little concerned about the down pipe issues and flanges.

It looks as though I will have to replace the whole turbo as if I break it whilst dismantling the wastegate then I am screwed. :(

Re: Suggested Parts

Boost Gauge Options:
where do you want it mounted?

Most common method is to get a 3 gauge A Pillar from Lo-Tek www.gaugepods.com
They come in 2 1/16 or 2 5/8. I prefer the larger 2 5/8" gauges b/c they are easier to see out the corner of your eye without fixating on them.

Auto-Meter sells all the gauges you'll ever need. I prefer the -30 to + 30PSI gauge, that way you can read vacuum as well and be able to tell rather quickly if you develop large vac leaks.
That and +20 psi is not enough for most of us!

As far as the AFPR it WILL be needed once you start tuning and get into a custom chip.
Our trucks use the same unit as the GN.
PTE offers a very nice billet unit.
Contact Eric at www.turbotime.us he's a PTE dealer.
Accufab also offers them
Here is one on ebay.

The 20Gs will bolt right in, no worries. ;)
I am running a 20G right now and have installed the Hahn super 20G in a local truck with no problems.

They (20Gs) conveniently use all the same fittings and hoses as the stock turbo.
Once you go PTE, then you replace the entire turbo and downpipe as one unit.
The PTE style turbos have an integrated wastegate that dumps into their custom DP, plus its STAINLESS.
You can't use a PTE turbo with the stock DP.


If you have the cash I'd recommend the PTE, if you are on a budget and/or not going for a 11 sec truck then go with the 20G for now and you can sell it later to upgrade.
Thats my plan!

Hope this helps you out.,
I am bored at work today and just counting minutes untl I can blaze out of here.
Have an appt at the machine shop to do some welding tonight.

Hmmm....I think that is how I would want to go. The 20G is basically just a bigger turbo with the same issues potentially. The wastegate has seized and apparently is not that great a design anyway. Besides, I like stainless stuff :)

The price I was given was £899 for the 20G. Is that about right?

As far as the downpipe, would I have to get something custom made? Or do they make it?

"urbo 52 etc do yourself a favor and just buy the complete kit from turbo time or somone it comes with everything "

Also, that regulator on ebay - is that what most people use?

who are Turbo Time...(wait while I google it!)

This help is Gold Dust by the way!

Re: Suggested Parts

Hmmm...bit of a backlog on the Down pipes from PTE at the moment.

Looks like I am going to wait and get a Dual Ball bearing PTE 60 and the down pipe...

Loads to think about!

cheers guys!
