Hank held vacuum pump: amzn.to/2Gkmqv4
If you ever replaced your manifold, turbo or anything to do with the wastegate, it is a very good idea to adjust the wastegate actuator so that it functions as intended.

Thank you everyone for watching. Please consider subscribing for more car videos!

This video has been so helpful. I am replacing my actuator and wanted to know if there is danger if I tighten the too much ( ie if the flap closes at 5 instead of 6)

@SimpleCarGuy 4 года назад

You may not get full boost if you do so. People have done it so that they can put off replacing the manifold for a while. If you do it too much, the engine may run rich. Thanks for watching!

@kylerwinters 4 года назад

@@SimpleCarGuy Engine definitely won't run rich. Maybe for a older car. Too little is going to cause boost to overshoot.

@SimpleCarGuy 4 года назад

Thanks for the info!

the wastegate arm hole gets bigger over time through wear i welded it closed grinded it smooth and drilled an 8 mm hole that way it will reduce play on the flapper lever and give a more precise open and close

@joyroc885 3 года назад

I heard at 6 or 7 it should be closed but the disk should spine by hand and fully closed at 8 with no movement.

@TheFabriXGames 6 месяцев назад

When the car is off the wastegate should be close or open?

@alexp6016 Месяц назад

It is open when the car is off.

@BmwFix 4 месяца назад

you showed it great

@alexp6016 Месяц назад

So weird problem I'm running into... when I set the actuator to 6 in-hg, the fully open position is only maybe 2-3mm from being closed. I feel like it should be a lot more than that, like shown in this video. Not sure if I'm doing something completely wrong or what.

Thank you for fantastic video. I have a BMW 525D Xdrive 2012. Afte the workshop has rplaced the turbo, the car is very and it seem to be under boost. I have man scan from my Autophix ES910 and the same error came up each time . Error 29A400 saying the wastegate is not calibrate properly. If my car has a electronic wastegate, what kind of computer tool do I need to calibrate the waste gate properly? Can I use a vacuum/pressure pump like a Mityvac 8255 to adjust the waste gate?

@nickska1771 7 месяцев назад

please man...... if you want...record the right sound who make the engine...!! is so helpful for us

@catdad44 15 дней назад

Is the nut on the thread looseable? When I only turn the Actuator itself it doesnt enlarge. Do I need to loose something to adjust it? Sadly you didnt show the actual adjustment :/ Finding no videos for that (But still thanks)

@amichemourad2574 2 года назад

très belle vidéo franchement merci monsieur se jolie partage donc si j' ai bien compris on règle la westegat a partir de 6 bars

@costelariton9864 4 года назад

hey man, thanks for the info, question: did you had to make the hole for the WG arm wider?

@SimpleCarGuy 4 года назад

I used a step drill and just went one size at a time until it fit snuggly. amzn.to/36HiFrm

@ajostrowski2500 2 года назад

Is it always -6 for every car? I've been trying go set my preload for my forge wastegate and can't for the life of me get it.

@jkdogdadaf1913 3 года назад

What is the pressure tool you're using called?

@SimpleCarGuy 3 года назад

It’s a hand held vacuum pump. I have put a link in the description.

@tvanb8729 3 года назад

`this is all nice and all but how do you do this when the turbo is ON the car?

@SimpleCarGuy 3 года назад

Same way, just remove the Downpipe

@master-hx7gw 3 года назад

The values to which it has to be set is somewhere in the TIS? because I cant find it...

@SimpleCarGuy 3 года назад

I couldn't find the values either as this isn't a normal BMW service. The best I could find was a few aftermarket wastegate videos from the manufacturers and their documentation stated the same number.

My actuator leaks vacuum slowly. Would that cause a low charge pressure code 2C57? Here's a video of mine leaking: ru-vid.comFDb_I70kbCU?si=AjxeQp8uKQbxMcEm
