Source for Factory M157 Wastegate?
Guys,
I have a damaged wastegate on the passenger side of the engine in my 2012 CLS63. Turbos themselves are fine. Does anyone have a set of bad turbos with good wastegates, or even just the waste gates that I could purchase? Ive found one set of good condition used M278 turbos but they are expensive for just needing the wastegates off of them as I have no interest in modifying M278 turbos for my car. Garrett and Mercedes only sell the turbo assembly complete with manifold and wastegate, with no source for just a wastegate replacement so I am stuck finding a used one.
Any help would be appreciated!

I would contact Eurocharged and other turbo modifyers/builders. They may need to change out parts when modifying these turbos and may either have some or have a way to source and sell to you

lol sorry but that’s one way to know it’s broken
but yeah eurocharged may have a link on them
I know when I drop by there for my C32 parts they seem to have stuff just sitting there from old builds
but I’m the lucky one to live around the corner from them 👌
