hey all, does anyone know how well the wastegate flap/penny should seal/seat on the turbo housing?? does it need to seat 100% perfect or would you expect to be able to see a hairline amount of light with a torch shone on it?

 

I would expect that a small gap could be considered normal.

Ideally it would be a perfect fit, but should work o.k. IMHO

dunx

 

thats what i would think but not sure, it came off a car that was working fine

 

bump

 

I fitted a new one recently and ground it in like you would a valve. Fussy bugger though

 

how easy was that to do?

 

Drill with forward and reverse and some grinding paste.
