Are the IX & VIII wastegate actuators the same?
I was looking on the FP site & they show thier actuator for an Evo VIII, but don't have an option for the IX. Did I miss something or are they the same?

FP offers a heavy duty actuator for the IX which is fitted as an option to the EvoGreen turbos.
An VIII actuator should work just fine on a IX turbo. However, you'd need to modify the mounting bracket as well as the actuator rod since the IX compressor housing is larger than that of the VIII so the distance and working angle between the actuator and the flapper valve are changed.
