a for a 1986 cougar xr7 2-3 turbo 5 speed any body know where i could get new parts{waste gate actuator,boost solornoid}
Did you confirm that these parts have failed on your car, or are just shotgunning your overboost problem?
I have a good BCS from my Turbocoupe. I could sell it to you for $20 shipped, but I would feel better if you knew for sure it was the problem.
need waste gate and boost control -waste gate sticking
Are you sure the vacuum line is OK?
yes
Well, here is a pic of the BCS that I have.

You may also consider upgrading to a aftermarket boost controller at this point if you plan on any mods in the future.
need info.model.type.for a waste gate actuator, boost solonoid . for stock factory app. for 1986 cougar xr7 2.3l140c turbo 5 speed vin w. can i buy these parts new,nos,oem
Just run a vac line to the actuator...
Have you tested so see if you can get the Waste gate to open? If not give it a shot. Use some compressed air sprayed into the Vac line of the actuator. Watch and see if that gets it to open. I would also regulate the air pressure to something near boost level it should take to get it to open. Wouldn't want to pop your actuator. If this doesn't make it open then you need to find out if the actuator is leaking the air pressure or is the internal waste gate rusted shut? Also have you disconnected the the actuator rod from the waste gate and checked the waste gate for free operation? Also the factory BCS is alright but you can build you own MBCS and plum that in so you can have control of the boost level.
