bear with me as this is my first diy

I converted my vacuum type wastegate to pressure on my 95 s350 today.

I bought one from the auction site for 39.99 shipped

I had to lengthen the actuator rod by cutting and welding in a bolt
the measurement i came up with was 5 3/4 inch from mounting face of actuator to center of eye

The new actuator bolted right up to the turbo's factory bracket

I then used a brass air line fitting to attach the boost pressure source to the new wastegate actuator and teed in a gauge for refrencing

All is well and fairly easy job but only 9 pounds of boost so i will add a boost controller in the future

The hardest part was attaching the clip that holds the actuator rod to the wastegate lever
.
I did it on the car without removing the turbo
