How do I tighten the actuator rod? Do I just pull that clip out, slide it
off the rod and tighten the nut?
Thanks,

First loosen the jam nut, then pull the clip. Now slip the actuator arm off
the rod. Basically, you want to shorten the actuator arm to increase boost
(up to a point), and to tighten the wastegate valve to seat 'operation'.
People have reported worn seats due to rattling in the past. Now, turn the
end a couple of turns (DO NOT LET THE ARM ITSELF TURN!!!), reset the jam nut
and road test. I was able to get a hair over 7psi by turning the end all the
way to the end of the threads on the arm. I have heard that turning the
whole arm can damage the diaphragm inside the housing which would obviously
be less than desireble. I now have mine backed off a couple of turns, as I
have another boost controller.
Have you done all of your low boost break-in miles yet?
