How hard to replace wastegate actuator?
So pretty much I can take the end where pin is off and adjust is so when i install it that WG is fully closed? Is that wg supposed to be closed? If so i guess all id have to do is take it off and adjust it so that when I install the lever it isn't pulling on it but is an exact fit correct?
Is the turbo installed on the car, or sitting on your workbench? You need to first bolt the actuator bracket with two bolt holes to the compressor housing. then push the flapper valve on the turbine housing down onto its seat.
Then look at the threaded actuator rod. On the end of the rod is this piece that we'll call the turnbuckle. There is a flat on the turnbuckle with a hole in it. Loosen the backup nut and adjust the turnbuckle so that the hole is positioned erectly over the peg on the end of the flapper valve's pivot arm. Slide the hole in the turnbuckle up onto the pivot arm peg.
Now, remove the turnbuckle again away from the pivot arm. Rotate the turnbuckle inward which effectively shortens the overall length of the threaded actuator rod. Now, pull the turnbuckle/actuator rod assembly back up onto the flapper valve pivot arm's peg. This time since you've just shortened the overall length of the actuator rod you will need a bit more stregth to pull the turnbuckle up onto the peg.

Well i took it apart and then figured out that I installed it correctly the first time. However I'm glad i double checked... wanted to be sure I didn't blow the turbo. I started the car and it runs well. thanks guys!
