Can someone measure center to center on the exterior wg flapper arm for me? Oem turbo and any aftermarket internal wg turbos. Trying to get an idea of the best length so the wga will preload it strong but will still fully open.

 

sparky knows best.seriously pm him.

 

was measuring this the other day. OEM, HKS, garret all have different lengths. I was planning on tweaking the HKS and garrett with longer arms. really should be setup on bench to maximize.
tool I use

 

Can someone pop their hood and hold a measuring tape up to it please. I don't have an oem mhi turbo to compare mine to. I think its the reason my fp 25psi wga only makes 17psi fully preloaded.

 

It's not as easy as popping the hood and measuring.... most of us still have the OEM shield, thus making it impossible to even see the arm... I will adjust preload next week, will measure then and let you know... hopefully someone can help you before.

PS: Seriously, PM Sparky, he knows a lot about wastegates and some other thing lol

 

Really no need to measure, http://store.forcedperformance.net/m...Info_wastegate

 

8.5" from the center of the hole(flapper side) to the wg canister.i measured the rod only.E9 turbo,kinugawa wg.prealoaded by Boostin performance a week ago.

 

Sorry, maybe I should have been more clear. I'm looking for the outside flapper arm measurement. Not the wga rod length. From where it comes out of the turbine housing to where the actuator rod hooks up, center to center.

Mine is a hair over 3/4" on center.

 

yah it's 3/4" on my car.

 

TY sir, what turbo is that?
MHI E9 or aftermarket?

 

e9

 

Problem solved. Extended it to 1" on center and makes 24psi on the actuator, no controller.
