The GFB WGA Internal Wastegate Actuator for the Can-Am Maverick X3 is a high-performance upgrade designed to give your turbo far better boost control than the factory actuator, especially on tuned engines running higher boost. Featuring a larger diaphragm and advanced internal design, the WGA provides greater control authority over the wastegate flap. This helps prevent exhaust backpressure from forcing the wastegate open too early during spool-up or at high RPM, where the OEM unit can struggle. The result is stronger, more consistent boost through the rev range and improved throttle response on and off the trail. Supplied with three interchangeable springs and an easy-to-use turnbuckle adjustment, the WGA allows you to set and fine-tune base boost pressure from 5 psi to 22 psi. Compared with simply winding more pre-load into the factory actuator, this gives the ECU a far more stable and predictable platform to work with when calibrating higher boost targets. Important: Although this is a physical bolt-on part, it is a tuning tool and will increase boost pressure. Professional ECU tuning is required after installation to ensure safe air/fuel ratios and engine reliability. Features & Benefits Optimised for tuned Maverick X3 setups – improves boost control on engines running higher-than-stock boost levels. Increases area under the boost curve – helps the turbo hold target boost longer, with less taper at high RPM. Faster spool-up – larger effective diaphragm area resists wastegate blow-open during early boost ramp, giving quicker response. More stable boost at high RPM – maintains control where the factory actuator can be overwhelmed by backpressure. Adjustable base boost: 5–22 psi – three included springs can be combined to suit a wide range of tunes and power levels. Turnbuckle fine adjustment – easily dial in pre-load to fine-tune base boost pressure without repeated spring changes. Supports higher boost targets – ideal for performance tunes where the stock actuator cannot reliably achieve requested boost. Compact, low-profile body – designed to be the shortest actuator in its class, aiding clearance in tight engine bays. Design Highlights Nomex-reinforced silicone diaphragm – industry-first design maximises effective diaphragm area within a compact housing for superior control. Longest stroke in its class (18 mm) – accommodates large internal wastegates and allows extra travel to further increase boost without changing springs. Unique pivoting rod guide – encapsulated spherical guide machined from high-performance PEEK polymer reduces friction and wear while keeping overall height down. No unnecessary bulk – carefully packaged internals deliver strong performance in a small, lightweight form factor suited to performance off-road vehicles. GFB performance heritage – engineered for precise, repeatable control to let your ECU act as the “puppet-master” of the turbo, not the other way round.
