[s-cars] What's the depth of your wastegate screw?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Jamu,

I think 6 turns is good for all their software versions, but I really dunno
if Herr Peter Link recommends that or if their vendors recommend that...
recently I heard of a SW version for RS2 turbo and manifold and 6 turns on
the WG screw on stock everything else, heck we might even call that the
"MTM WG trick"  :-)


Cheers!

Mihnea
