internal wastegate, actuator/downpipe contact
this is a greddy td04h, the wastgate closed:
wastgate open:
you can see where the actuator hits the downpipe elbow. im assuming that the wastegate is not opening as far as it should be. can i bend that piece up so it clears the elbow?

i dont see why you couldnt but dont quote me on that. and why exactly do you wanna do this... are you having problems with boost creap or something. greddy made it that way for a reason so im sure its not a problem

Re: internal wastegate, actuator/downpipe contact (boosted timebomb)
i havent used it yet. im working on my first set-up right now. i didnt know greddy made it that way. 1/4 inch of motion on the actuator doesnt seem like enough to actually open the wastegate.

take that elbow off and move the actuator... that 1/4 inch of movement should uncover the hole all the way.

That was the 1st thing I was thinking. Its bent, which its not supposed to be (some retard likely dropped the turbo :dur. I've never seen much besides surface rust on any arm (this includes turbos that looked like they were submurged in nitric acid), so I'm guessing its one of the stronger/high temp grades of [chromium] steel. Bend it back, then get your mf'ing boost on.

Re: internal wastegate, actuator/downpipe contact (HiProfile)
yep, i checked and the wastegate was barely open with it hitting the arm. it was probably bent in shipping even though the box was clearly marked on every side which end was up. damn college kids working at UPS. bent it back, now it operates. thanks guys
