The only problem woith fitting is getting correct lenghth rod. And when I got it the problem was to find enough strengh to put it on

Setting correct boost is a problem because the turbo is white hot and you really don't wanna touch it OR do you have some work around for that Stu?

if you need to streach the actuator rod over the wastegate thingio the easiest way to do it is use a foot pump and connect it to the actuator this will force the spring out and you can easily locate the rods hole over the wastegate mount
