WASTEGATE Actuator Assembly Testing
- Remove hose from wastegate actuator assembly. Connect cooling system pressure tester to wastegate diaphragm. Slowly apply pressure and note wastegate actuator rod operation.
- Actuator rod should not move more than .015" (.38 mm) at 4 psi (.28 kg/cm2 ). If actuator rod does not move at 5 psi (.35 kg/cm2 ), 4 psi (.28 kg/cm2 ) for Turbo II, wastegate is faulty. Turbocharger must be replaced if wastegate fails to operate at proper pressure.
