How to replace wastegate actuators?

neo_ · 02-09-2011, 10:06 PM

I have the actuators, just need to install them. I know a few of you have done this before. Any tips or tricks?

I'm particularly referring to how to calibrate the new ones?

i thought that they generally were not replaced indivudually...i thought if they needed replacements, u had to replace the turbos...i read that somewhere...so dont take it to court

I believe Mr. 5 has done this before. He may be able to give you some insight.
