western Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 as no ajustments have been done, the rod should fit back on, maybe the rod needs to be pulled further out as the spring & diaphragm inside the actuator could be holding it away slightly.

western Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Nope, the rod probaly needs to be pulled harder or the wastegae lever needs to be moved to line up so the 2 can be reconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 It´s a tough one. You need big pliers to get enough power to pull that actuator shaft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombx3 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 when i conected the wastegate was not fully closed is it meant to be, by the way it was hard to pull out the rod to meet the gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Is that wastegate closed now when you have connected the actuator rod? If not, you should shorten the rod so that it is fully closed. Otherwise some boost will escape... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
