anyone know the correct length of the wastgate actuator rod for a gt2871r? I had to make the actuator rod longer to reach the flap and now the car boosts .8-.9 bar. Thanks in advance

does anyone know? or does it even matter?

seeing as most people had to modify the bracket for the actuator, I'd say there isn't really a "stock" length for the rod. Most people run this turbo 1 bar or higher seeing as it's out of its efficiency range below that.

Just make sure it long enough that the rod will just be snug to the elbow. The harder it is to hook up to the elbow, the higher ur boost will be.
