Product Range Information

Features and Benefits

The WGA is a high performance internal wastegate actuator designed to improve boost control on internally wastegated turbos. By using a significantly larger diaphragm area than the OEM actuator, the WGA has more control authority over the wastegate flap, meaning exhaust backpressure cannot override the flap position as easily, resulting in more stable and reliable boost control.*
Supplied with 3 springs and a unique turnbuckle pre-load adjustment, the base boost pressure can be configured and adjusted from 5psi to 24psi for the best possible boost control.
The WGA features a longer stroke, shorter height, and more adjustment than its rivals.

*Please note that whilst this is a physical “bolt-on” product, it should be considered a tuning tool as it WILL increase boost pressure and therefore TUNING IS REQUIRED.

Self-troubleshooting Steps

After installing your wastegate, I’ve found that I’m making 0 boost. What is happening.

In most cases, it’s worth noting that it is almost impossible for a wastegate to be making 0 boost. A wastegate “seemingly” making 0 boost is not an indication that it is stuck open. In most cases, we’ve found that if you’re making 0psi worth of boost – your vehicle may be in some form of limp mode due to a possible CEL code. We would recommend using an OBD2 scanner to check for all CEL codes to see if there is an underlying code causing this limp mode to be triggered.
