No. The WGA arm is almost a z-shape, and the kinks seem to relax a bit during the first several heat cycles. Best to just set it to normal tension, and then retension after each drive until the tension holds.

seems to me like a real healthy turbo kit so far so good

Thanks, so just leave it the way it came from factory and recheck after cycling it?

Right now the turn buckle is centered betweek the two nuts. Should I leave it that way, install the turbo then check after tuning and driving it a bit?

No, you should tighten it first before installing it, then re-tighten after a few heat cycles. From factory it comes pretty loose.

The nuts are tight, but turn buckle is centered. I just want to ensure the length is right before bolting the turbo on.

SPANKED.
find what I wrote 2 pages back or so. it explains how to tighten the actuator arm.

Thanks man but I saw your post... just confused on whether I should be adjusting the arm (making it shorter) or just making sure the nuts are tight. The turn buckle is pretty centered between the nuts from the factory. Should I be just checking that the nuts are tight or actually shorting the arm by threading the turn buckle into the lower part of the arm?

the turn buckle will always be centered.

It threads into both ends at the same time because its LH thread on one end and RH thread on the other. So you'll be threading the turn buckle into BOTH ends of the arm.

Go adjust it in real life and it will be apparent very quickly what we're talking about.

You making it to DO on Saturday E?

Nope. Its going to be two weeks before I dyno again me thinks.

Saturday November 13th. Gives me some time to get after a few things (TedB's twin pump mod) get my Black bov spring from TiAL. Port the turbo manifold... do another boost leak test... get the MIL.SPEC Throttle body all prepped to be put on. Work on some part throttle stuff and then swap the plugs.

My dyno?

Got the housings back. In short the A/R of this HKS housing is very small. If I had to estimate I would say its smaller than 9cm. It may be a bit hard to see in pictures so I edited them so you could see better. The red lines are HKS and The green are the FP 10.5cm housings. The width where the twin scrolls transfer into the turbine differs drastically between the two housings. The HKS is really restrictive.

WOW, that isnt just a little that is a ton. Based on what I have seen from other TS housing fails, a mismatched A/r to compressor wheel can be 25% power. I am not saying this is a 600+whp but still there is a lot when you have severe backpressure in a turbine mismatched because of the flow of the compressor.

I'll be waiting for when somebody extrude-hones a HKS hotside (I suggested this to RT last week).

Is there a published A/R on this new HKS turbo?
