II tried posting this earlier today but the list was apparently down.
Like Chris Chambers I decided to try turning down the wastegate a few
turns. So I go out the car to drill through the thin cap insert and
then remove the epoxy so I get at the hex head of the wastegate
screw/bolt. WRONG!!! It turns out my waste gate cap is solid, no
removable center
cap and so far no epoxy plug underneath. Mine cap is solid aluminum and
I have no clue what I am drilling through. (already 4 mm or so). So two
things:
1) I am curious to find out whether I am unique or not with this solid
cap and
2) anybody with a photo they could send showing me the back side of the
solid or the removable center mini-cap cap. (you know what I mean). I
need to "see" what I am doing - I may have to take this cap off and have
center machined out and or threaded for a plug (like the X plug on the
powersteering pump).
Thanks in advance.
