got my stock location gtx3582r to fit during my build, and ive been told off jamie from evotune, and read of some incidents in the usa, that the wastegates are blowing open around 25psi. does anyone know of anywhere that does uprated actuators for this turbo? ive searched online and drawn a blank. the actuators are odd looking units with a z shaped rod.

I'd say that if some have failed at 1.7bar then they were faulty. Speak to Garrett direct for info

From: jamie parker> Email: hi i recently purchased the above turbo for my evo 6. i have been told by my tuner/mapper that a few of these turbos hes mapped lately have had the wastegates blow open and not seal, due to the actuators not being strong enough for over 25 psi boost? im aiming for well over 30psi. is an upgraded actuator available? or are these incidents rare or down to other factors?

and there reply:

Jamie, This is maybe a year old issue when we first released the turbo, but that was probably the first 10 units shipped? If you ordered a GTX3582R recently, it gets the works and all the bells and whisles! Ported turbine housing, anti-surge inetl, high pressure actuator good for 45 psi of boost, etc. Put it on and make crazy power! If anyone has ANY problems with it, let us know. You need not worry. You have the best possible turbo and the most powerful unit and nothing comes close it. It's our flagship turbo right now and is kicking ass left and right. If you or your tuner has any further issues, please let us know. We're here! Thank you!
