turbo rattling. wg bushing help
I have a s5 t2 turbo. My turbo rattles because the bushing for the wastegate is pretty worn. So the freeplay doesnt allow it to shut real nice, and it rattles.
Anyone ever change out the bushing? Anyone sell these bushings?

honestly in all the years I've seen turbos and dealt with them I've never heard of this. Probably time to retire it since it's obviously very old like 100 years or so.
If you really think the turbo is still in top condition I suppose you could make your own bushing out of a dowel hammered into the housing with an appropriate hole for the shaft.
You should throw the turbo away honestly though. I guess I never saw this problem because most turbos die before that can happen. Actually never even heard of this. I'd look into getting a fresh one since it won't function correctly unless the repair is flawless. Just like how it doesn't function correctly now. hows that lag treating you?

Does anyone know the material those bushigns are made of? I see its tack welded in place, so I guess steel then?

The problem happens to lot of turbos, but its harder to notice on single valve wastegates. The s5 t2 has one pivot point for the double doors to close teh double wastegates, and it makes it sit really off. So its got a nice ghetto rattle like something is loose

luckily i have another hot side, but I tried poisting a wtb, and noone wants to sell jsut hte hotside. People with s4 t2's would just need the manifold and hotside and havea s5 t2 setup

Ok, I jsut took it apart and its not the bushing. Its the shaft on the valve
Its hard to find those wastegates that are nice and tight. I dont have the money for a full on turbo upgrade. I guess I gotta keep BSing around wiht theses old turbo rebuilds
