Title: S cover internal waste gate actuator
Post by: good2win22 on March 17 2016, 02:35:50 PM
As the subject line states, in need of an actuator that is already welded to the bracket for an s cover.  OR... a bracket that I can position an HD actuator on and weld up myself. 

I've been getting the run around from fullthrottle for over a month now.  A little he said she said about precision having issues with getting them the product that they are peddling.  Anyway, I'm looking for an alternate method of getting what I need. 

Any and all help is appreciated!

Pix of what you are trying to do.
I'd message up bison on the big board and see what he has available.

My buddy cut the rod and bent it and welded in a little section to get his to work.
I will see if I can get some pics for you.

Thanks for the responses.


Rich, I don't have anything to take a picture of. Let me see what I can find. Basically, I'm looking for an actuator that's been welded to the bracket that holds the compressor housing on an S cover turbo. This would make the actuator clocked to the correct angle to reach the internal waste gate puck arm.


I guess I should've asked Brad to chime in on what he's using

Steve, that's exactly what I had in mind. I bought this 6262 second hand without the actuator thinking it would be easy to get.  I have no problem fabbing something up to work. I either need to go fab another clamp  and then weld on the actuator or find one already done up. Either way is fine with me. Just wanted to see if anybody had what I was looking for. Chatted with Brad a few minutes ago and he got his direct from precision. Calling them tomorrow and if they are truly the hold up, I'll make something that works

One would expect Bison would have that stuff kickin' around.

I really hate to bother Brian with this.  He is inundated with requests. I try only to bother him when I need a turbo rebuild. Other than that I just read his posts. I'll figure it out sooner or later

Got mine from Hartline Performance same time I ordered my S shrouded turbo.
Suggest you give Cal or Holly a call.

Spoke with Pete at Precision today. Said the S cover HD actuator has gone through a redesign. Says they'll be ready next week. Guess I'll be waiting another week or three
