This may be an obvious question however this is my first DIY turbo project. I have a 14b turbo and im not sure that the wastegate acculator will work properly, when i took off the acculator it was almost impossible to pull/move the arm...?? is i boken ? or it it suppose to be that stiff ?

ne info is appreciated! Thanks

It's supposed to be stiff.

You can test it if you're not sure. Don't ask me how cuz I forgot. ;D

I vaguely remember hooking up a hand pump with a tee fitting (my fuel pressure regulator gauge screwed in on top) to the actuator and slowly pumping. When it starts to move, that's pretty close to where it will release. I was off by about a pound.

If you use an electric pump, it'll take as much air as you give it (i.e. didn't work for me for ----).
