OK so i got it on finally, went to put the actuator on and to keep the wastegate shut i run out of threads on the rod!
I looked on the standard one that was on the car, and it shuts with the arm at a 5 o'clock possition. whereas my T34 shuts at a 6 o'clock possition. (have they put the arm on wrong?!)
I measured the distance between the edge on the arm to the edge of where you bolt the actuator. On the standard T3 it was 170mm. The T34 was 165mm
The actuator is a -31 and its a 4x4 sierra cos (non-cat)
Any input will be a great help.

the turbo housing could need turning to put it in the right position etc...

May have to find a new act. bracket and then look at the position.

Needs to be as close to 90 degrees as possible to the wastegate arm.

The actuator sounds like its NOT actually off a T34 to me.

Probably off a T3 or similar?

 

The actuator is straight, the arm is at 90 deg. it looks like the thread needs to be extended.
Should this be? Am i missing something?

 

Yes, you need a longer rod then.

you can get longer rods that screw on the threaded bit.

Or just get a new actuator.

OH dear! so the -31 actuators of the standard T3 are different to the T34 ones?

 

think its just the screw on rod that is different,can get different lengths.

ta chap...i'll get on the phone tomorrow.

 

VERY different.
