HELP: Rebuilders quoted $125 for used IHI wastegate actuator...

[FE3-323]

if it works for you & you are happy. then F it.
im noat sure what you have done with the transmission- but if its unmolested. I highly encourage you to open it & have the Diff pin welded.
without doing so - even on a stock turbo setup you risk blowing up the trans. let alone anything more.
Happy driving & post pictures when this turbo comes back

I'm not sure who you're ranting about talking to, but your setup should work fine. How you build it is your business.

Also, to answer your question the vf8/vf10 can be found on the 90-94 Subaru Legacy turbo depending on country. I think North America got mostly vf10s. T3s come in a huge array of sizes, and are also very common. I've seen them on Volvo and Mercedes cars.
