Please clarify your question and include make, model, year, engine size and transmission. Are you asking about an actuator for the turbo charger? The waste gate on the turbo charger? Or for the heater vent controls?

How do you get the turbo actuator part of the turbo back on with the turbo still on the motor?

The turbo actuator is a critical component for a turbocharged engine and it can be tricky to put back on with the turbo still on the engine. To ensure the job is done safely and correctly its important that you follow the steps below: Disconnect the battery to ensure that no power is running to the engine. Locate the turbo actuator and loosen the clamp that holds it in place. You may need to use a wrench or socket to do this. Carefully remove the turbo actuator from the engine and set it aside. Clean the area around the turbo actuator and make sure it is free of debris. Reinstall the turbo actuator and tighten the clamp. Reconnect the battery and start the engine. Check the turbo actuator for proper operation.By following these steps you should be able to successfully get the turbo actuator back on with the turbo still on the motor. Remember to take all necessary precautions when working on a turbocharged engine and always have a qualified mechanic do the job if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.

What would a 1988 Pontiac Sunbird need to have three alternators installed in six years?

I had a 1988 Pontiac Sunbird GT with the 2.0L Turbocharged engine. I replaced the alternator every 26K mi. I believe this was due to the underhood temperatures caused by the turbo. I had the car for 123K mi. before I sold it. Still in great shape. Could be due to a short in the electrical system or a bad ground.
