WGVF urS4

Well after having a play tonight, i ran the ecu output tests all checked out fine and cleared any codes as per sjm's site. then i measured the distance down the wastegate to top of the screw having read on an S2 that the stock distance should be around 2.54cm, came up short on that one so screwed it down to just over 2cm, bingo right on the money, car drives like scalded cat saw nearly 2.9 bar with a little hesitation at full load so dialled the screw back a touch.

I would be interested to know how far down the wastegate everyone elses screws are?????

Thanks

Iain
