6.4.3.2 Checking Wastegate Calibration
Check the wastegate calibration as follows:
1. Remove hose from wastegate actuator.
2. Set up an indicator at the end of the wastegate actuator adjusting rod to measure actuator
rod travel. The indicator should have a minimum travel of 0.100 in.
3. Connect regulator and pressure gage setup to wastegate actuator. See Figure 6-18A.

4. Apply specified calibration pressure as listed in Table 6-1A , to the wastegate actuator.

5. Close air supply shutoff valve. The pressure should hold at the specified pressure. If not,
check air hose and fitting connections for leaks. If none are found, replace wastegate
actuator. Refer to section 6.3.3.3.
6. Open vent to relieve pressure. Check gage for zero pressure reading. Adjust regulator to
zero pressure and close vent valve.
7. Adjust dial indicator so it just contacts the actuator rod end and adjust to zero reading.
8. Open air supply shutoff valve and slowly adjust regulator until dial indicator reads 0.040
in. Switch pressure on and off, opening and closing supply air and vent valves, to ensure
dial indicator travel is from 0.00 in. to 0.040 in. and that the pressure reading is
consistent.
9. For currently calibrated wastegate actuator, a pressure within .50 lb/in.
2
(3.4 kPa) of
the value listed in Table 6-1A, will be required to obtain precisely 0.040 in. actuator
travel. If the pressure required is outside this range, wastegate adjustment is necessary.
Refer to section 6.3.3.3.

6.4.3.3 Removal of Wastegate Actuator
Remove the wastegate actuator as follows:
1. Remove actuator hose from top side of actuator can. See Figure 6-18A. With the
pressure gage setup, apply enough pressure to the actuator can until the rod begins to
move. Refer to section 6.4.3.4.
2. Remove the retaining clip that holds the actuator rod end on the worm pin. Lift rod off
the wastegate lever pin.
NOTICE:
Never remove the rod end from the wastegate lever pin without
applying pressure to the top side actuator port, or damage to the
actuator diaphragm may result.
3. Remove the locknuts that secure the actuator can to the base of the actuator bracket and
remove the can from the turbocharger assembly.
6.4.3.4 Installation of Wastegate Actuator
Further adjustment of the actuator will be necessary to achieve the correct pressure setting, listed
in Table 6-1A.
Install the wastegate actuator as follows:
1. Install actuator can on bracket; tighten locknuts.
2. Using pressure gage setup, apply enough pressure to the new service actuator can until
the rod begins to move.
3. Adjust actuator rod end by turning either clockwise or counterclockwise on rod so that
the rod end hole lines up with the wastegate lever arm. While wastegate is held shut, slip
rod over pin.
4. Before installing retaining clip, the rod end will need to be adjusted to the correct setting.
Refer to section 6.4.3.5.

6.4.3.5 Setting the Wastegate
Before following this procedure, check the actuator set pressure to see if adjustment is needed.
Refer to section 6.4.3.2.
Set pressure adjustment as follows:
1. Loosen the jam nut that secures the rod end on the actuator rod. If locking collar is
present on the actuator rod, remove and discard collar. See Figure 6-18B.

2. Remove the retaining clip that holds the actuator rod end on the wastegate lever arm pin.
3. Using pressure gage setup, apply enough pressure to the top side actuator can port until
the rod begins to move, lifting the wastegate valve off its seal. See Figure 6-18B.
4. Slip rod end off the wastegate lever arm pin.
5. Adjust rod as needed:
[a] To INCREASE pressure setting at .04 in., turn rod end CLOCKWISE.
[b] To DECREASE pressure setting at .04 in., turn rod end COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
6. With pressure still applied to actuator, replace rod end on wastegate lever arm.
7. Check actuator set pressure again. Refer to section 6.4.3.4.
8. If actuator is still out of adjustment, repeat this procedure.
9. If actuator is within specified set pressure, install retaining clip on wastegate lever arm
pin.
10. Tighten jam nut to secure rod end.
