[OMGGTR]

Hi guys i just bought 2x 2860-5 turbos from GCG

part no. 707160-5005

Now i opend both boxes and noticed on both turbos the wastegate arm is welded... wouldent this cause constant boosting ? im not 100% knowledgeable on turbos please help!

throw a bike pump or air gun on the actuator and see if she opens up

Take off the c clip at the end of the rod,raise it off and try to turn the wastegate flap with your hand

Normal... But what you do need is heavy duty actuators, did you get some from GCG?

Just out of curiosity...does it have an "S" after the part no.on either one?

And whats the numer on the box?

[OMGGTR]

the part number 707160-500 (5) or and (s) cant tell its hand written

the other part no. on the other box is the same but has an additional (s or 5 on the end) lol

maby one turbo is a little different to the other so they support eachother rather than be the same shit ? eg one will boost a little later to help top end power? noidea man having a stab in the dark....

Ash i dident pick up HD actuators their standard adjustable... can u explain the difference with the 2? why do i need heavy duty ones?

I thought the -5 came with adjustable heavy duty actuators.

I think that is what is fitted to your turbos.

hand written on the id tag???

So on the box has 5 characters after the dash right?....the last one is most likely an S as it seems to be part of the new labelling but does not always appear on the id tag on the unit itself

These turbos have to be EXACTLY the same for it to work properly paired on a rb26

You mean the boxes are hand written like mine were. Are the Id tags on the turbo's exactly the same or different? Both number sets on my boxes were different and my tags on the turbo's are different too. Still not 100% sure if they're the same turbo's or not.

heres a shot of the sticker on the box to clear up some confusion lol

and with regards to HD actuators .... when i pulled the arm off to see if the wastegate flap opend it took me and a mate to pull back on... im pretty sure this means its HD lolol
