Can anyone describe the sorts of things you could see if you adjust the arm on the wastegate to be too long(ie the wastegate opens early?)

Less boost.

If you overdo loosening it, the gate may not even stay shut. Thus you will get no boost.

You should have to pull the arm to get it to hook up- maybe an 1/8" or so. If you don't have to pull it a little, then you've got it too long.

Okay thanks guys. I will tighten it again.
I'm definitely getting boost, but it's bogging and lagging. I'm pretty sure i have other issues to hammer through but i wanted clarification on this one first :)

Thanks

before I modded my wastegate arm I measured 5.25 inches from the bracket to the center of the hole.
This was while installed.
hope that helps
