This wastegate actuator, with a 1-bar opening pressure, is designed for VAG 1.8T 20VT engines with a K03 or K04-001 turbocharger. The actuator regulates turbocharger pressure by opening the wastegate when the set pressure is reached. Thanks to its higher opening pressure, this actuator is suitable for engines with tuning or higher turbocharger pressure.
