it is a garrett TB06 turbo. The t3 flange is a little -----witted so u need to made some custom modification to make it fit a normal t3 flange. I only get 5 psi out of it. Maybe my boost gauge is wrong

If it is an OEM replacement wastegate, or an aftermarket replacement wastegate, the adjustment rod comes unstaked so that the installing mechanic can adjust it as needed. These usually get tightened down and maybe loctited, but unlike the original part can be adjusted.
