Hi Steve, I bought my TQC from Bruce Hochuli. He said he and his mechanic had a diaphram from a 5kt and the one from my car side by side and that they were different. I don't want to replace the entire wastegate as I'll lose the adjustable boost modifications Bruce had done. Used TQC wastegates are $500 or more, but I'm concerned I'll have the diaphram cracking problem again in the future. I need to solve this. I probably will buy the '85 5kt engine that's selling for $250 here just for the wastegate as a test. If it doesn't work, at least I'll have a water cooled turbo to use / rebuild later! Or someone on this list will get a great deal on a turbo motor! Regards, John Karasaki The Karasaki's, proud owners of AUDI automobiles 1981 Coupe 1982 TQC 1984 5000S Wagon 1990 V8
