My wastegate actuator got bent wen my motor was shipped....i need a new one and i look on ebay and find all these different (mm) sizes...wut do i need? I mean if i get an upgraded one wut will that do for my motor. i know it sounds like a dumb question but i need an answer nonetheless.

 

How bent? Pics? Some people actually bend these so that they close better or open later or something. I bent mine a little, with my ported wastegate I actually HAD to bend it so it would close completely. Unless yours is bent way the heck over you may be able to save it...

 

Bent is NORMAL...
*sigh*

Maybe the S5 is normally bent, I wouldn't know.
