How far should the wastegate lever move?
My lever moves freely but has just a few degrees of rotation. With the mitivac I measure about 10mm of movement on the activator's arm, so it does seem like a matching distance but just want to be sure I'm not missing something as it seems pretty granular and the car was previously non-seq with unknown history.

the arm will only move as far as it can until the wastegate door hits the inside of the turbo. the arm itself as a swing longer than the movement of the door. if you want to do some math, take the arm off the wastegate and swing the wastegate until you feel it stop. note the location. reinstall the arm for the actuator and pressurize it. note where it stops. if you have no boost control issues then this doesn't matter. what prompted you to perform this inspection?

Thanks, yeah I'll check the swing distance manually to make sure they match up. I just got the TCA installed and now about to put the wastegate and precontrol actuators back. This is the end game from testing all the solenoids, checking vacuum hoses, emissions delete, undoing the former non-sequential setup, so I'm just being extra careful to get everything right.
