The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the field of new Table 1. New Pressure Differential Wastegate Part
pressure differential wastegates (ending in suffix “Y”) Numbers

engines that do not require adjustment for altitude.
L5794GSI P/N 295645T P/N 295645Y
The new pressure differential wastegates sense both
L5794GSI-EPA,
boost and intake manifold pressure, eliminating the N/A P/N 295645Y
L7044GSI-EPA
need for wastegate adjustment for altitudes up to
8,000 ft (2,438 m). These new wastegates are used on L5794GSI-MOB,
N/A P/N 295645Y
L7044GSI-MOB
both EPA-certified and mobileFLEX engines as well as
on all models equipped with AFR2 (shipped beginning L7044GSI,
P/N 295645L P/N 295645Y
June 2014). The new wastegates may also be retrofit L7042GSI S4
to earlier engines to eliminate the need for adjustment
if the engine will be used at varying altitudes. Be sure NOTE: The new pressure differential wastegates can
to use the new upgrade kit G-962-1140, which be used only for the models listed in Table 1. For other
includes two new wastegates P/N 295645Y and all VHP models, current wastegate part numbers are still
required plumbing. The retrofit kit will be applicable to valid. For information on adjusting the previous
only to engines shown in Table 1, pre-AFR2 (June wastegates on engines produced before 2014, see
