Replacement Wastegate

I broke the acuator rod on my stock wastegate & need a replacement waste gate.

The only two I have found so far are theTurbo Master from Diesel site & the Banks big head, any ideas as to which one would be better? and will either fit an ATS housing

Thanks
Rich

This would be your least expensive option. I have the Turbo Master wg controller. All will work with the ATS housing.

Thanks for the tip Roland, how do you like the Turbo Master? and do you think the TM would be much of an upgrade over the gate in the link you posted. I kinda like the TM's simple adjustment.

I like it much better over the stock WG actuator. The one that Ron sells has an advantage over the stock one when the red line is till connected (more spring tension). I think the TM holds more boost up until "blow off" than the stock or the aftermarket one. Right now I have my TM tightened all the way with my 38r. I don't over boost with the lower drive pressure it has. I may have to tweak it after I install my injectors next month.
