I recenty installed my system... and for some clearance issues, I had to clock the banjo fitting relative to the flange portion... I ended up disassembling the wastegate... I have now reassembled it, but wanted to know if I did it properly. In particular the seating of the diamphram.

I've got a boost leak some where and want to double check everything I did.

Does anyone have proper instructions available and would post them. I bought the wastegate used. So, I don't know what information came with it. I've googled it, and searched here, but came up dry.

Thanks alot.

 

There's nothing too special really other than making sure that the diapghram is not pinched when you put the top hat back on.

I see. I should take it apart and make sure then. I thought there may be some special way of seating or something.

Thanks for the tip.

 

becareful not to rip it

 

STAN, you are the MAN!!!

I took it back apart and it WAS pinched (two places)... The diaphragm is not torn... However... due to the clamping... there is a crease in the it... Is it still ok? I would imagine... after a couple hot cycles... it would straighten it itself out...

Edit: Would that be a source of my boost problems??? Not holding boost that is...
