wastegate actuator rod is rattling
 

I dont know what its hitting, but not under load its constant at 2k *which is irrelevant*

we took a wrench extension and put even so slight leverage when the engine is at 2k and it stopped it completely. I do not know what the rod is vibrating on. anyone else have this problem

t28 specR turbo if that helps :)

Preload it.

Sounds like it might be open and causing a vacume leak which would explain the 2000rpm idle ????

nononono, what I meant was it only rattles at 2k RPM. car idles rock solid around 1k. under load it will rattle around 2-3.5k

Sounds like the rod is loos and vibrating against the shell of the waste gate ???

thats pretty much the noise, its driving me crazy, you can hear it from down the street

yup happened to my hks actuator. i set it too loose so do what s14DB said.

im gonna go ahead and turn it a couple times to see if that stops the rattling, if that cures my problems its ponykegs and hookers for all
