wastegate actuator question

brouib · 10-28-2009, 08:08 PM

I am about to drop in my ej255 and the wastegate actuator on my 20g keeps getting stuck so I need to replace. I am running low on cash and the ej255 i just bought comes with the stock turbo.

my question is can the stock td04 wastegate actuator work on my 20g until i can buy one from Forge?

Also does anyone know the stock psi rating for the stock td04 turbo? Thanks.

11.6 p.s.i. is the stock boost rating on my 06 wrx if that helps any. As far as the wastegate actuator I dont know.

I believe a stock wrx should be somewhere around 13.5psi.

2006-2007 (stock)
WRX: 11.6 P.S.I. WRX STI: 14.5

I am not sure if it is the same for other years.

These are the factory pre-tensioned wastegate settings. What 20G are you running. According to the 20Gs that Blouch uses they are both pre-tensioned to 9PSI. So if the table I found is correct, one from an 04-07 STI, or maybe an 02-03 WRX might work. But not sure, and not sure if the table is helpful or not either.

2007 STi WGDC Tables
Stock restrictor pill size = ~.0335”
Factory wastegate pre-tensioned to ~9psi

2004-2006 STi WGDC Tables
Stock restrictor pill size = ~.043”
Factory wastegate pre-tensioned to ~10psi

2007 WRX WGDC Tables
Stock restrictor pill size = ~.028”
Factory wastegate pre-tensioned to ~6psi

2004-2005 WRX WGDC Tables
Stock restrictor pill size = ~.047”
Factory wastegate pre-tensioned to ~6psi

2002-2003 WRX WGDC Tables
Stock restrictor pill size = ~.047”
Factory wastegate pre-tensioned to ~10psi

It's different for different years. the op's car (04') runs 13.5 psi as well as the rest of the usdm 2.0 wrx's. The 06-07 is 11.6, 08' is 11.9 and 09+ is 13.3. So i've heard from my sources

Pretty sure it will not work due to the bolt holes are different.
