Wastegate Actuator for BoonDocker Snow Turbo Kit

Wastegate actuator(s) ultimately control how much boost you make! Build more boost and better throttle response with our signature line of wastegate actuators!  Summary The wastegate actuator is a spring/diaphragm combination that is the mechanical control of the wastegate. The wastegate is a small “door” in the turbine housing, that opens and closes, allowing hot exhaust to escape from the turbine inlet to the turbine outlet, essentially creating a bypass, allowing exhaust to circumvent the turbine wheel (read more about the turbocharger). This process is what controls the actual boost that is delivered to the engine. The actuator works in combination with our electronics (EBC) to control boost. The spring portion of the actuator holds the wastegate door shut, until a certain pressure. The diaphragm portion of the actuator responds to pressure changes (controlled by our electronics) in response to boost control. For example, a black actuator is a 6-lb actuator. Using this 6-lb actuat
