Default internall wastegate actuator question

hey guys i was wondering if you are suppost to be able to move your actuator arm in and out of the actuator with a little force? Or does it have to see boost to move at all? I'm just wondering because i can't budge my actuator arm by pulling on it with a little force. Just don't want my wastegate not to open

i dont know about your question, but i assume you are runing the 14b (td05)? Do you know how to lower boost if possible with an internal wg?

It's pretty hard to do it with the actuator attached. The arms are pretty tough to move. If you want to see if your flapper isn't stuck, just take the arm off the flapper and check it out.

it takes a bit of force to move the arm...
i tested mine out once buy using an electric pump and a hose to make sure the arm moves.. and it did
