Internal wastegate question..............
I'm not familar with internal wastegates, and my brother just clocked his turbo, and the wastegate shaft will not line up.(Shown in picture) What should he do? Should he extend the anchore for the shaft, or can you let the shaft hang? I'm not sure what the shaft is used for, and what advice to give him since I've never delt with a internal wastegate before.
So let me know what shaft used for(I'm assuming spring related?), and what needs to be done to connect the wastegate shaft to the stock anchor provided without bending the shaft. Any help would be appreciated.

Also if it helps the turbo is a T25 off a buick, and it's freshly rebuild for his 87 MR2, and he plans on running the stock wastegate pressure of 8psi(which is what he researched the spring to be rated at).

hes gonna have to make them line up. he'll probably have to make his own little adapter to move the whole wastegate assembly so the shaft will like up with the flapper. or he can just go external gate

Re: Internal wastegate question.............. (I Have an STD)
Well has anyone else had this problem with internal wastegate assemblies? Also what exactly does this shaft do, and what would happen if the shaft is left off the anchor?

the shaft is what keeps the "flapper" closed. If there is not tension on the shaft from the acuator and the flapper there will be no boost.
