As above-which one?there are 5 at least-Toyota prices are obviously dependant on which one it is(they are all different),But some are £200ish each!

Nic can do them cheaper, but there Should be lots of s/h ones about with all the single conversions going on.

Its the EGCV vsv thats broken,the wastegate vsv is the one infront with the blue electrical connector on it-(also missing a vacuum pipe-the blue silicone pipe coming off the actuator,rhs of pic should be connected to this vsv).

If your still trying to sort out your sequential system (re your prev post) Id advise taking it to someone who knows what they are doing.Mark at Pheonix perhaps?

Failing that,find someone local with a tt to compare your err "interesting" pipework to.

If you are going to do it yourself then ditch ALL the cheap blue silicone vacuum hoses and replace with proper rubber ones or fuel pipe(save some future headaches).Then test all the other vsvs(resistance,open circuit and using a 12v input-check they work-blow test).

Sounds complicated but its really not.

Good point, that none reinforced blue silicone stuff is the cause of so many sequential problems, it splits, slips and is generally cheap and nasty stuff. When it has to be held on with little tie wraps, well, that takes the biscuit! Its usage should be banned, it's so inferior to the proper black stuff fitted as standard. Price up a roll of proper Gates hose and the blue silicone stuff, and it will become apparent why blue bling prevails ;)
