Working on the re-fresh of my newly acquired tt, the wastegate actuators are corroded and grotty (although seem to be working fine)
Apparently OEM are crazy expensive, and I just ran across these. Has anyone used?

Interesting do they mention price somewhere? Noticed it says .5 bar. Thought ours goes to .8

Hmm, good point. Better get that clarified. Maybe it's adjustable. No pricing for 993tt but every other unit on website is $199.99

Hi
The 0.5 bar spring sets the minimum boost pressure (as the spring won't let the wastegate open whatever the ecu does until there is 0.5bar).
The maximum boost pressure is set by the ecu which uses the n75 valve to stop the wastegates seeing full boost pressure until it wants hem to open.
I think that 0.5 is about what the standard ones are set to.

ive used there external wastegates and blow off valves on my gt2 racer and on a big hp 930 turbo so can vouch for the quality, im sure the actuators would be the same quality

Or you can call Todd at Protomotive and buy some from him. I think he has OEM ones and they aren't crazy $$$.

Sorry I missed this. Peter sent the take-offs to Forge Motorsports and they fabbed a pair at ~$250 ea so all good.

Could you take a pic of them? I'd like to see if they are an option for me as we'll
