    Turbo wastegate actuator pin

    Has any body had the wastegate actuator pin (wastegate not the actuator) snap off. Mine did yesterday. I have replaced it with a small bolt and several nuts as a temporary measure. Is there a replacement setup as it seems to be part of the wastegate itself.?? Its a very bad feeling driving with no boost
    Cheers Dave

    Yes, managed to drill out the old pin and put a small bolt thru the wastegate lever and use a couple of nylock nuts with washers to keep it located and alow it to swivel with the actuator. Seems to be working quite well.
    Boost is back to normal.
