Evo 8 Forge wastegate on an 9 turbo
Is there any difference between the evo 8 and evo 9 wastegates? I have a forge on my evo 8 turbo now but I am about to install the 9 turbo and wanted to know if I could use the same wastegate or will I have to purchase I completly different one?

Shameless is correct. Forge manufactures and sells two different WGA's for the IX and the VIII turbos. Because of differences in the bracket mounting points on the IX vs. the VIII compressor housings you can't just swap your old VIII WGA onto your new IX turbo.
Having said that, there was a thread on these boards from an Evo owner who had modified his Forge VIII WGA's mounting bracket and gotten it to work on his IX turbo. I may try this myself as I have an old Forge VIII actuator sitting in the garage and I am not completely saisfied with the performance of the FP unit on my Greeen turbo.
