GTM Stage 2 Internal Wastegate Actuators
 
We are trying to install a used twin turbo kit stage 2 and I've been told by Mike that they usually supply 9 psi springs for the stage 2.

As our car is automatic and there is existing issues with the tranny, we wanted to have 6-7 actuators for the kit and then we have the option increase our baseline psi by boost controller.

Any idea where i can source the HKS Internal Wastegate actuators for the Stage 2 with GT28RS 0.86 ?

I'm not sure you need to purchase anything. You have what appears to be exactly the same setup I had, and we used a manual boost controller to raise boost to 17 lbs.

For me, we found the electronic boost controller unnecessarily complicated. For me.

He wants the lower psi springs so he can just simply run wastegate pressure if need be. The spring determines the lowest boost level the turbo will go to.

If you wanna ball out, 4-port boost solenoid with a "0" psi spring so you can run whatever boost you want. :tup:

the wastegate actuator arms should be adjustable, by adjusting the rod length you are setting preload on the spring. I specifically set mine to 9psi, but originally I had them at 7.

Spring is advisable to help with boost onset. It's always been my practice to have a spring PSI as close to my target boost as I can get without overshooting the mark in all conditions. Let the EBC or MBC take care of the rest as well as the boost limiting function.

4 ports are only useful if you have external wastegates with top/bottom ports and an ECU that can control the solenoid properly, completely unnecessary unless you want to run very low AND very high amounts of boost.

Oh I know. It's more of a "baller status" item if anything. Especially since on our stock motors, the psi range is very small.
