Rebuilt turbo problems
Replaced turbo with rebuilt unit, drove about five miles lost boost. After inspection found the wastegate valve rod was disconnected. I reinstalled the rod but think that it maybe out of adjustments. Now the boost fluctuates, not really sure what’s going on. I don’t have any turbo experience.
thanks,
James

OK I did find some info on adjusting the wastegate rod, but not a hard core measurement. Look at the last step.

Is there a way to put air pressure to the can ? Not saying this is the problem, but it is a possibility the diaphragm in it has a small leak. With some air pressure on it, spray soapy water and see/look for bubbles.
Rough to diagnose not being there.

Understand that, I just replaced my turbo, what a pain!! But if you start tinkering with it, you may find that they will not honor any warranty.
