Selected User Reviews For Wastegate Actuator for Fo-rd Powerstroke 7.3L 99.5-03 GTP38 22PSI 702011-0009
We have a boost on the way! The Chinese part fits and functions better than I expected. The package was sent directly from China to me. I installed it in a matter of minutes, and the turbo is spinning and creating power The turbo here is far superior to the one that comes with an $800 turbo.
Also, the hole for the wastegate is much bigger than what was originally designed, causing the wastegate to move a lot. This is not a good purchase if you do not have fab skills. Since the original end was cut off and welded to the new part, the original part had to be cut off and welded to the new part.
Although the fit of the product was off, I was still able to use the item.
The price is good and the quality is good. This is a great place to buy from.
Since the product is not the right one, it continues on motor 7 and is given three stars. Because the turbo that brings the year 99 is shorter based on the length of the rod of the product, it makes sense to use the year 1999. As far as I could think of, the only thing I could do was buy an antenna for the car, and there are many adapters so as to be able to safely reach the rod with a piece of extension.
It is and works as a waste gate, which is the only reason for the 3 stars. The piece that fits over the clip is thick enough, but the piece that goes over the stud is as well. The metal there had to be removed by a grinder about half of the way down. The pain in the neck was excruciating.
The item cannot fit in 3, it It didn't fit anywhere near as well as it had been advertised.
