Surwit 1831383C92 GTP38 Turbo 22PSI Wastegate Actuator For 1999-2003 F'-ord F-250 F-350 with P'owerstroke 7.3L Engine Part# 1831383C94

Calibrated to OEM Specifications; Tested for impact, wear and fatigue to ensure quality and durability; Built under strict quality control standards
A wastegate actuator is a fairly simple piece of equipment – controls the boost output of your turbo, diverting excess exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel; it features a spring and a diaphragm; The spring holds the wastegate shut until the boost pressure reaches a set level, and then opens, allowing the gas to escape and reducing the boost pressure
This controls the speed of the turbine, preventing it from over-speeding, and regulating the speed of the compressor; Ultimately, this helps to protect the turbocharger from unnecessary wear and tear, by capping the maximum boost pressure of the turbo at a safe level
As with all components, things can go wrong with your wastegate actuator; Over time, the pressure and heat will start to take its toll, which can weaken the spring; This can lead to the wastegate opening earlier than it should, reducing the boost pressure and performance of your turbo; The diaphragm can also fail, meaning that the valve will no longer open; This can lead to the boost pressure rising to the point that it causes serious, catastrophic damage to your engine!
