C clip u can use

[Ollieh17]

I meant to say the new actuator is hole and the old one was pin

[1990timeismoney]

U can buy pins that fit on ebay or just nut and bolt make sure nut and bolt not to big because it mite not clear part of turbo I had the same problem

Not the same one but is the same if u ask for diametre it should be ok

[Ollieh17]

Don't suppose you know what diameter is needed?

Put everything back together now... Round two another day

[1990timeismoney]

It should be ok with the bolt I dont have a actuator im sure someone will be able to tell you

[Ollieh17]

Ive managed to get a nut throught the hole but the bolt keeps popping out the wastegate.. Just use a ciriclip on this?? Or can i put a nut behind the bolt. Dors the actuator pin have to pivot in the wastegate hole

Nut and bolt does the job mate

[Ollieh17]

Can you acty bolt the nut up? Does it not need to pivot within the wastegate?

[Ollieh17]

Ive fitted the actuator and have fiddled around. But however short i make the actuator boost seems to go no higher than 0.6bar..it also seems to have more lag than it did before. On the standard actuator the boost was also at 0.6bar and i believe stock high boost is 0.8bar. I have the high boost/low boost removed. Any ideas?

[Ollieh17]

boost leak?

[Mel85]

doesnt shortening the pin keep the wastegate open? hence the lag? sounds like you're hinging the wastegate open

[Ollieh17]

Shortening the pin keeps the wastegate shut i always thought?

[Mel85]

my bad! should have engaged my brain for this one..

shortening keeps the wastegate closed tighter/pre loads the actuator.

[Mel85]

yea my bad! shortening the actuator pin tightens/pre loads the wastegate, so in theory should run slightly higher boost before opening.

a mate of mine fitted a small camera under his bonnet when he was having actuator trouble and showed it wasnt closing/opening... might be worth doing the same

[Ollieh17]

Just fitted a new exhaust and its less laggy...still not at full boost till 5krpm

[Ollieh17]

Still pretty sure, even with the actuator even shorter that im only seeing 0.5bar boost. When it goes up to 0.7bar im pretty sure this is just creep as it only does it in 4th and 5th and alot more often now its cooler. Now have removed and completely blocked off the BOV which i thought would solve the issue.
