I love it when Ted's posts are shorter than his name.

pez_low - your post is very difficult to read. I don't know how to go about answering it.

what i mean is i have a new turbo t3/t4 with a 4 bolt pattern and im know it is a small turbo but im not looking for a bigger turbo right now, but my wastegate is blown and it wont hold boost pressure. i think it would be better if just took the wastegate off the new turbo and attached it to my old turbo. is the t3/t4 even bigger than my stock turbo or is it smaller... i dont know?

Is the actuator itself bad, or the rod?

I think it'd be able to just order anew actuator/rod, or buy one used from someone here

RETed rules! sorry. yea if your modding you leaf blower then i think you might like to look into a manifold, the flanges are not the same, and if it is clearance might be an issue. then from there its all a cob job and things fail, so invest on a good proper set up
