Stock Wastegate Settings????
Hi I lost my boost last night and found out that my back nut on my wastegate actuator rod came loose and went bye bye
So Im trying to figure out where the stock settings are? my inner nut was in pretty far and not sure if it vibrated in a bit or not! Are they suppose to be screwed in alot? Any pictures would be great or advice? read alot of threads about people adjusting these things? This is my first Audi!! Had it One day lol and booom issues!! So THANKS in advance!!

Well to answer my own question in case someone else has an issue!! I Snugged the outter nut all the way up to the wastegate lever with it closed which is further down the rod toward actuator.. Then tightened the outter nut down 2 full revolutions. Tightened the back nut..(the one closest to the front of the car!!) up to the Wastegate flat then snugged the nut that is further away from the actuator up tight... Through a little locktite on her to make sure it wont rattle loose again....... Did it in about an hour or so!! Pretty simple just hard to reach without taking the manifold off!!!GOOD LUCK Hope this helps someone else!!!
Im going to get a boost gauge right now to make sure i didnt tighten too much!! Ill Post again when I know where im running...
