Default Actuator trouble on an S2

Got the car up on a jack at the minute...

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the actuator?

Seem to think that the wastegate is open all the time, anyone got any pics or diagrams as to how it should be please?

Cheers in advance

OK, remember this is Paddy you're talking to here [so words of 2 syllables or less please... ]

Theres a bolt halfway along the rod, is this where it's adjusted? If so, is a clockwise turn? How much of a turn?

If you're off work Nath.....
