Pressure Sensor Regulator & Wastegate Actuator

This device monitors discharge pressure from compressor. When pressure reaches 6 psi (.42 kg/cm2 ), regulator begins to open wastegate. As pressure increases, the regulator gradually increases wastegate opening. A control rod stroke of approximately 3/8" (10 mm) is achieved just before maximum pressure switch cuts out fuel pump relay.
