I have a US spec 88 turbo II. What should I do? Looks like the waste gate actuator is on the wrong side. Does anyone know if it will work? If not I am sending it back to the seller.

 

Picture?

 

If I recall correctly there are threaded holes on the front side and it is relatively easy to put your actuator on there.

 

It's the twin-scroll actuator that's on the other side, not the wastegate.

 

Here is the one I bought:

A friend of mine removed everything for the twin scroll crap. You can remove the flapper, rod, actuator, and then plug the exhaust hole and plug a single vaccum line. This will give you slightly more top end and slightly decreased bottom end, but its negligable.

Rip that crap off.

That looks like a nice clean turbo btw.

 

I am trying to make less modification and keeping it stock as possible. Any other suggestions?

 

That is the twin scroll actuator. Leave it on and assemble the manifold and turbo like your old one was...It will fit fine.

 

I bought the exhaust manifold.



Are we talking about the same thing? If the actuator on the exhaust manifold is on the wrong side how do I install it? Will it work as is? I am very confused.

 

It will bolt right up and work fine. The actuator is just in a different location, but it all works the same. The only thing you may have to do is extend the vac line.

 

I am taking it to a mechanic so I wanted to make sure it will work with my US spec turbo II. I don't want him to take it apart and find out that it wouldn't work, then I will be charged for nothing. Since the actuator is on the other side will it physically fit in the spot? Will anything gets in its way?

 

So do I just ask the mechanic to bolt it right on? Or do I need to tell him to modify some part? I really need some answers here. Need to get the car running well again thanks.
