Had to take turbo off yesterday to add bolt that had fallen out so I was reading the manual about the wastegate and how to adjust it... It said to get a vacuum pump and punp the valve to 5lbs pressure and the rod should line up with the lever.. My ? is when I pumped mine up the rod didnt move in or out? does that mean the wastegate is not functioning properly? If not, what would the signs of a faulty wastegate be?

 

You can't use a vacuum pump on the wastegate, you need to use compressed air to blow into the canister to have the rod move out to hook the wastgate to the rod.

 

thanks I'll give it a try
