So.. following my foray into 25 psi wastegate actuators masquerading as 12psi ones. I find myself in need of a decent 10psi actuator. It needs to have the dog leg for the arm and be as long as possible.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Just realised I'm being silly- my existing wastegate is fine- I just need the longer eyelet thing that attaches to the arm! Doh!  The current one about 8.5cm so I need something a tiny bit longer orrr I chop this in two and add a bit of metal..

Just need to measure the size of the hole now.. and hope that my one is 1/4 unf (whatever the heck that is)

Ah... so these things happen to others too  :-[

At least you have realised befóre buying the other one instead of having the ´aha´-erlebnis when it is still under way ::)
