[RESOLVED] Stupid wastegate question

[turboAWDfanatic]

I've been reading up a bit on boost creep elimination and a question comes to mind for me. A lot of people point out the importance of the ability of the flapper (internal wsategate) to open 90 degrees rather than be restricted by the exhaust housing (like stated here).

BUT, what is the point of this when the wastegate actuator arm limits the movement of the wastegate? I made sure my flapper can open 90 degrees, but when I put compressed air on the actuator to test it, the arm actually limits the travel of the flapper to about 50-60 degrees.

FYI I'm running a 16g GT with the stock internal wastegate.

Thanks

Nothing you can do about that- which is why making sure the flapper opens 90* is pointless.

Ask Mr. Peepers to mod your actuator if you want the full travel of the flapper.

Holy crap. For the amount of time it would take me to do that I'd rather buy an external setup!!! =O Very nice writeup though. Sorry, feel stupid for starting another thread when that was so easy to find. Thanks for the quick response!
