Wastegate Actuator replacement.

My wastegate actuator is stuck open so no boostieee!!!! Where can I find another stock actuator? Are there any aftermarket Wastegates that can be used to replace the stock one and installed easily.

Thanks

This guy carries parts.
Have you tested the actuator with a vacuum pump to make sure it is the problem? The actuator moves the waste gate in the exhaust housing of the turbo. If the WG is bad then you need to replace the exhaust side of the housing or the entire turbo. Either way this vendor has what you need.

In my case the WG itself was broken. The actuator was working.

Yes I had it tested by the Mini dealership. They brought me back and showed me. This mini was purchased with 127,000 miles on it and it is really showing it. I'm trying to get it fixed as cheaply as possible. Thanks for your reply.
