I'm betting the former owner thought that the spring wiuld be a good way to up the boost.LOL!!!! Just get a new actuator for that t'bo if you figure out what it is.

Pictures and numbers -   The more I think, I might just go with an external gate and call it a day.

Lets see if anybody has any ideas on the actuator and I will do the whole $ vs $$ thing.

Two sets of numbers -
"607-94" and "53T-001" 

Tried my best to take pictures. 

The only other number is on the chrome housing and that appears to be a serial number and, well, I would have to be part CSI to get it out.

So after I posted this, I used "the Google" (God I will miss him - just for the laugh factor alone)  and came up with a possible match that might help me narrow it down a bit - only one i could find - the guy posted pictures, etc in a forum.   PDf of his info is attached.  I copied his pictures and - well hell - looks like his "kit" has an external gate?  Also looks like the exhaust tube excludes the internal waste gate area? 

Any ideas on what the heck this thing is?

(PDF copy of the fourm info is easier to read - jpeg = too small.)

Save yourself a huge amount of time trying to find the right actuator and get an external wastegate.

I am a thinking you are going to be right on that.   

Besides, that way I can change the springs, etc in the event I ever want to get silly and do such a thing.

a quick google suggests it's off a "'94 6.5 turbo diesel GMC"

you NEED an actuator!

How can/could have it been tuned for 10 psi without one????



How do you fit an external wastgate to a turbo with an internal one?

Wow, was that Google or are you just that good on parts? 

In any event, despite being too dumb on Sunday to know what the problem was,  today I can answer that question.  (I really need work to pick up) 

You take it and weld the gate in the open position.  Rumor has it that must or should be done with tig.  You then install a wastegate on the collector right before the turbo.  See how simple that is?  In my case, I have elected to ship it all off for just that process.  So, I twist wrenches and write checks - yep that sounds about like my skill level.

While I do want "better faster stronger," currently I am working on taking my used car and making it "correct and reliable."   Oh the joys of used.  Still, I am pleased with the car / purchase - crazy huh?

It looks like you have your problem solved. Did you get the proper springs with it?

She is my better half - and she really is - a remarkable person.  She shows up in some of my profile albums. 

Springs?  What is this spring thing?

I jest,


Yes, I did.   10# should be good to go.
