How much tension on actuator arm

[glanzanut]

as above i have nearly finished my custom bracket and arm for my actuator on the vf8. its been a complete mission as it kept fouling everything. so before i finish it up tomoz i need to know. when i go to weld the final lenth of arm to then bolt into the wastegate arm in the shut position. what position should i have the adjustable bit on the arm at? half way screwed so i have adjustment either way? also how much pre tension should i have on the gate just a little to give a seal?:freddy:

Leave enough for abit of adjustability both ways, more so for the tightening!

Yes, just enough tension to hold the penny wastegate flap closed!

half way seems fine you can also run a bleedvavle to up the boost anyway or,boost controller
