I bought a used IS38 turbo with 7,000km and I'm prepping to slap it on with an ebay twintercooler and a catless downpipe but before I do I want to make sure if I need to buy a new wastegate solenoid actuator for the IS38. will the one that I have on the IS12 work cause if it does then that would be awesome.

I also used my IS12 wastegate actuator on my IS20.

How have you managed to go through 4?!

I blew up 3.
Is20 w/g
Is12 w/g
Is12 w/g
And im running a mamba tech is38 w/g

My old is20 turbo was wearing out the bushing for flapper arm. Causing my wg to over turn is snap the gear in side. Once i found that out. Thats when i got is38 turbo and chucked my is20 in trash

Just to clarify since this would save me some money...I can swap the whole assembly over to an is38?

Why do people insist it DOESNT work?
