Well I disconnected the actuator arm from the wastegate nipple thing and I can't seem to extend it enough to get it back on. So currently the arm is just free, any tips for this?

some reason the wastegate arm does not move.. And I'm not joking the thing won't budge. I was under the car adjusting the actuator length and went looking for needlenose pliers, came back under the car and the wastegate arm wouldn't budge, maybe my car is mad LOL

ok, so yes, it is quite stuck. After I adjust the actuator stick arm thing, I would be able to pop it back on easily right? cause by the looks of it, it looked 50 miles away thats why i was like WTF, i swear when I took off the clip and disconnected the arm and the stick it was moving then it just got stuck. sorry for the stupid vocab but yeah.

regardless if the turbo is upgraded or not, your still restricted to the physical size limits of the turbo, even if the internal dimension is slightly larger than what greddy made it to be.
With that said, the turbo is deathly tiny and will not flow enough air to keep up with the needs of the engine at stratospheric rpms.
ditch the BNR turbo and at a minimum get a small 35r, this will REALLY wake up your 8

Thank you very much everyone, I wd40 the thing like hell. Got a vice grip clamped it and kicked it then it finally got loose, reattached the actuator arm. I guess I found my boost problem cause I accidentally let it swing again and damn the thing gets stuck, now it holds boost throughout the rpms. thanks again everyone.

If you tweek the actuator like I mentioned in my thread then there is less travel on the arm and it is less likely to jam open . But - if it feels like it wants to jam closed - dont drive it like that!

yup i did shorten the arm, thats why this whole messed happened so that would sucked if i didnt even get to do what i planned, the boost is much smoother and stronger throughout the whole revband(i only went up 8), im just waiting on my tune and I am stoked.

Technically, I am in a constant holding pattern. Most people end up waiting (these days) about 20 biz days or so (if they get everything right, which is less than half the time).
And, I believe, the telling term in that sentence is "do", rather than "did".
