How stiff should a -31 wastegate actuator be to pull over the pin.
I fitted a brand new one months ago but just got round to playing with the boost control i originally fitted it half a hole but pumped it up with a pump to slide it over the pin. It was only holding 6 psi so wound it in more recently and it pulls over easy just by hand every other one ive had you have to play tug of war with it lol.

 

What cars is it fitted too.

 

its on a cosworth t3

?????????

 

Should be really stiff are you sure its a genuine -31?

 

Sorry was gonna reply but nipper got hold of my phone!

 

Thought is was secret code lol

 

Its what ever msd sell will take it off when the rain stops and take a look

 

A -31 lifts at 8psi with correct pre loading can be loaded safely to around 6mm.
Sounds like your boost control may have a problem as with the waste gate loaded to 8 the engine will typically receive about 6.

 

Half hole pre load it boosts around 5 psi with boost control turned off over a full hole pre load boosts around 7 psi and it slides over the pin easy with one had will try the old one again that one never had that problem

 

all fixed put the old one back on it seems the spring was weak in the new one
