How to check a wastegate to make sure it functions properly

We are out to prove that the ebay turbo's are just as reliable as the big name turbo's. One consistent issue with them is that the wastegates on them need to be moved and tested before installation. Note that the wastegate arm should not be TOTALLY loose as shown in the video. This is shown in the video just to show the difference between how it was before when it wouldn't open the wastegate and after, when it's been adjusted. This is how to do it.

could you take the wastegate and arm off? I tried it on mine (18g) and I couldn't take the wastegate off to swamp with my oem one.

Yes, the wastegate comes off.

You know that if you use an external wastegate and weld that whole shut you get more boost but get a 44 mm wastegate by jdm sport that can hold 30 psi but also depends on how your setting your turbo up

@camaroking250 When did I say a 22re is a powerful engine? HAHAHA!!! I thought you frostbacks were up-standing people? But I guess there is bullshit in all parts of the world. Have fun.

@22reTOYOTA nah i've got enough work to do here than waste my breath with someone who wants to convince me that a toyota truck with a 22re is a powerful engine. you really don't know what your talkin about with anything you say and i've got better things to do.

@camaroking250 Make a video yet? Holding my breath to see a bright shiney Enzo.

@camaroking250 Stop crying,and start filming.

@22reTOYOTA ya the enzo is in our indoor impound, thats the safest place to keep a car like that, but you say you want to see all my cars and the supras. man your an idiot and I doubt you know the first thing about building an engine and I seriously doubt that you could even drive a stick up a dead dogs ass. your too full of yourself buddy and all you have is a lil toyota pickup truck and its probably not even a nice one. and for me most of em toyotas are a dime a dozen and i bet they are nicer
