> The circle clip holding the wastegate actuator rod came off my car after I installed the GT28RS kit. I thought I had a huge boost leak. It took a while before I got under the car and looked up and saw the friggen rod just hanging there. Had to pull the whole hotside back off to get at the damn thing. But I guess it’s easier than doing it on a transverse engine.

what im talking about is actually inside the turbine housing. the round flap–about the size of a quater-- that blocks off the dump mysteriously disapears. it is what teh rod would connect to. i have yet to find it stuck in the cat/exhaust or whereveer. it just up and goes.
