My wastegate actuator keeps detaching from the turbo after about a week of driving. Is there supposed to be something to keep it on? If so, I don't have it. Can I use something else? Thanks.
 
The cotterpin is missing, insert the right size cotterpin through the pin hole on the lever.
 
At the end of the wastegate arm there should be a small cotter pin that holds it to the flapper. If it is missing then replace it with a new one or something similar.
 
Alright, I didn't even notice a hole. I'll check it out, thanks.
