Thanks. I did take the time to remove the airbox, plumbing etc. Got the
actuator of two mounting holes already. Just the arm left. It's that C clip I
cannot see. Did you get it from above or below??? I've got all the tools you
mention....and a Home Depot nearby???
Patience..got plenty
Thanks again !

Can anyone give me some guidance to removing the wastegate actuator arm from
the turbo? I can't see it, reach it, etc. I need to install a new adjustable
one from FWD performance and get it unbolted from mounts and that's all. Do I
need to get to it from underneath or remove more stuff??? Any thoughts at what
length to set arm at to get started?? I need to be at 15psi when done
Thanks!!!!!

Id recommend you remove your airbox, it'll be easier to see what ya have to do,
its a pain in the ass, but its doable.. take your time.. 2 torx
bolts on the actuator and a tiny little c clip on the arm, thats the hard
part.. if and when ya loose the c clip that holds the arm onto the
swingvalve flapper, you can find em at home depot ;) about 35 cents
and the same thing as the orignal sence I found mine after I got the new one
on.. dead on..
I used a sharp pick that has a 45 degree angle at the end to pull it...
reinstalling it is also fun.. be patient and invest in a magnetic
grabber tool
good luck and patience will go a long way..
