Re: Turbo questions - K24, WG Spring etc.



    I have recently modified a KH wastegate with a threaded perch on top so 
that a preload can be placed on the spring making it adjustable.  If anyone 
is interested in seeing this I could take a picture or give a description, 
but I do not have a web site to post it to.  If anyone wants to volunteer 
their website I can send you a picture.  
    It is basically quite simple...I redrilled and tapped the top threaded 
hole to 9/16-12, and welded the spring perch to the bottom of the bolt.  A 
jam nut on top, and a slit cut in the top of the bolt (to be held with a 
screw driver) keeps it from turning once adjusted.  Definitely a lot easier 
than using shims each time you want to make an adjustment...
