This Thread Originally authored by gsxr... I am posting here as a new thread to make it easier to find the pertinent information that has been assembled in the old circa 2008 thread... without further ado ... this is what I had posted in that thread... > NOTE > Links are now working

In the spirit of helpfulness... and organization I am including here a summary listing providing the key references to the conversion... I hope this is of help.

Here is the part number and location to purchase the replacement actuator

part number 433489-12

# please note that the rod length will have to be shortened

as a reference this thread :
A : ( post number 133 ) explains the rod length customisation
B: I would highly recommend perusing the entire thread of which the page 9 URL is listed here :
Wastegate actuator swap for OM602.962?

and

for detailed pictures of the parts involved : ( wastegate13.jpg ) for actuator image )

also,

in this same thread : page 10

Wastegate actuator swap for OM602.962?

it is outlined that for the manifold port fitting one should purchase this :

! please note that this fitting is a NPT thread and will certainly work for the self tapped hole on the turbo housing that GSXR implemented but I have yet to confirm that the OE manifold threads used by : VegStew in post # 117... here :
Wastegate actuator swap for OM602.962?

are in fact a match for the 1/8" NPT thread. I will write again when I have confirmed this.

UPDATE > as referenced in the original thread... the factory manifold threads are in fact 1/8 NPT and and will mate exactly to the fitting as linked above

Thank you
