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

[James Murray (LMC)]

Thanks Mihnea, I guess it also depends if you measure from the top of the screw or the impression for the allen key. I guess the best way to measure is using an allen key and measure the depth to the top of the WG cap. I thought it was 5 or 6 turns! thanks for the confirmation. Now it that 5 or 6 turns for all (Stage 1, 2, 3 +) ?

Cheers, /Jamu.

Stock AAN/ABY WG screw depth is about 11 mm if memory serves, measured from
the WG cap. MTM recommends indeed 5 or 6 turns if the stock spring is still
used. On stock SW, WG depth isn't very relevant, but by the way, who's
still running stock SW in an UrS car? :-)


HTH,

Mihnea
