wastegate arm stopper

[kenuwine4g63]

Simple question where could i get another washer that goes after the wastegate arm to stop it from coming off or what could i use in place of it. Ive tried alot of things and no help!! Is there a vendor i could order them from??

I need some help guys my wastegate arm keeps coming off..

I would either go to a junk yard a try and find one, if not go to ebay they have some under wastegate clip.

ok cool. I will check ebay first, i dont feel like arguing with these people at the junk yard about what something is and what something aint

Your turbo doesn't use a washer to hold the wga arm to the flapper so thats probably why it keeps coming off. It uses an r-clip to hold it on, if you look closely at the flapper arm theres a small hole that it feeds through and holds the wg arm on.

Personally I think your wasting your time trying to buy one from a junkyard or anywhere else for that matter. Go get some small paperclips from Office Depot and call it a day, and you'll have 299 more to hold your homework together.

Heres what it looks like...

The hole is VERY small, thats why buying the smallest paper clips you can find is what I suggested. A clothes hanger is definitely not going to fit through the hole though, I can tell you that much...

I've used a bent paper clip before. Works fine.
