Need to know the total distance that the WGA (actuator) travels from close to open (no boost to full boost). Anyone have a difinitive answer?

 

Thats kind of hard to tell; I suppose you would have to have someone with the whole turbo settup off the car with a homeone boost leak tester with a smaller connection to put on the wastegate and see how far it actually opens.

 

Are you talking about the distance that the flapper valve lifts off of its seat when full open, or are you refering to the distance that the WGA rod travels axially, or yet something else totally? At any rate on the IX based 20G-LT I could maybe have that info real soon as I have one out in the garage. But on a Evo VIII turbo with a 10.5, I should know by next week, as I'll be yanking the one off my car.\

Anyone out their interested in a JDM spec 16G Evo 8 RS turbo? This has the larger RS titanium exhaust wheel and either an upgraded single flapper 10.5 HS(ported), or the original 9.8 hotside(unported). If so, shoot me a PM.
