[s-cars] let's say you had cranked down the wategate

[Ulrich L. McKenzie]

As it happens, I just removed the plug on top of my wastegate today.  I have
not yet made any adjustments pending installation of a new Michelin Man hose
to replace the one that exploded over the weekend!  I will measure/count
threads and report on both findings tomorrow.

Hey all...

I was bored one weekend with my S car buddies who have removed thier
wastegate
cap and wanted to do the same on my 200 20v.  My car is not chipped, so I
did
not see the interest in cranking down the wastegate spring until I do so.
So,
I have access to my adjustment allen head under the wastegate cap and I can
count the threads down to where it is if this will help anyone.  Note this
is
a 200 20v, so may not be the same on an S4/S6.  I think counting the threads
down will be most accurrate, rather than a measurement.  Again, this is for
the stock wastegate adjustment setting.  Email me if you want me to go look.
