Slacken off the locknut, unclip rod off arm, turn the rod to make it longer, (clockwise), clip back on.

Is that as you are looking at the turbo from the front of the car ? <-- to turn it up and --> to turn it down ?

Also correct me if im wrong but i thought you could turn it down or up without taken the black bit of the rod off with that clip and just undo the nut then use some grips to turn the rod ?

Also if i do take the black bit of the rod off does it matter how far up i wind it back on ?

Ive never down this before so want to make sure i get it right please chaps ?


Cheers peeps!

.......................no no no.......ur actuator has a threaded bar on the end of it................this bar atatches to ur wastegate penny arm............take the "R" clip off and unscrew the 11mm nut.....then pull/pop the adjuster arm off and then screw/unscrew the adjuster arm up or down...........longer = less boost.....
