Wastegate Actuator Rod Adjustment

I was hoping to figure out whether vcds can help me out here and if so how it works.

Wastegate actuator rod adjustment.

Reason is that these stick as the pivot joint between the turbo actuator rod is to tight so i undid mine wet sanded it clean 2000grit oil regressed using 1000c brake pad mintex ceratec grease. There are quite a few threads on the 1 8t forum about tuning the wastegate by moving the actuator rod locknuts a few turns thereby making the rod shorter which results in the wastegate opening up less and holding more boost. Rotate the wastegate actuator 1 upward in the direction of the arrow. The reverse removes preload.

On aftermarket actuators and external wastegates we can change the internal spring. Therefore the only aspect that we can change on the oem actuator is preload. Specifically i need to adjust calibrate the position of the open and closed positions of the actuator rod for the wastegate. When you increase the preload you do two things.

Shortening the wastegate rod using the adjustment screws adds preload to the internal spring. Remove both of the electric wastegate actuator torx screws 1. When the wastegate linkage pin cannot be removed the alternate procedure in this document must be followed to remove the turbocharger and the electric wastegate actuator. By removing the stainless steel bracket the turbo attaches to i.

This video explains how you can adjust the wastegate preload settings of an internal wastegate turbocharger for increasing the boost or decreasing the boost. Temporarily secure the wastegate. After getting under my 2 0t gli i was able to locate the actuator rod just above the passenger side axle.
