So i replaced my busted wastegate actuator this evening... as a warning to all of you, never try to do this yourself... it has got to be the biggest pain in the a$$ i have ever done on a car... ya gotta pull the turbo to do it, it sucks.

 

Yep coulda told ya that one buddy, but its good that you got it done, thats a very important thing to have lol with out it your poor lil turbo would have a very short life, you should do a DIY take some pix and post that **** up man

 

Did you reuse the gaskets from the turbo to manifold/cat??? Theres no way those could be any good after taking the turbo out..
