brendonware Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just had a look at my actuator on my turbo and i tried to unhook if off of the wastegate bit and it was stretched on, basically to get the actuator arm on i have to pull the actuator arm about 5mm's to get it on, or should it be just sitting on there with no pull? as to me this says that the actuator is slightly open when im not even running any boost? Sorry if im being a noob just want someone to set me straight! Brendon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Need to stretch it on to hold the wastegate tightly closed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brendonware Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 how much should i have to stretch it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 If its an adjustable one, there is a guide on google as to what length it needs to be, if its an OEM one just stretch it on should be ok. Someone might correct me though, i wasnt using an actuator very long i went external! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 That sounds about right tbh mate does need to be pulled a fair bit James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brendonware Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks guys! Sorted the bent actuator bracket out and some egg shaped intercooler piping and I'm back to 1.1bar of boost again! (when it starts lol)Brendon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
