Is there anyway to check if my wastegate opens? I recently said about N75 being fitted the wrong way round and was wondering if the wastegate was ok? should i be able to open it by hand?


Also what clutch is best to go for? I cant afford an upgrade yet, flywheel is costing 230 which is decent, but shall i get a sachs clutch or LUK?

standard actuator you should be able to pull open with your hand, i could with mine with 50k on it. uprate to a forge 1. really good mod but not very easy to change with it on the car.

maybe not if your only goin stage 1. stage 2 + i would say yes really needed to hold the boost till the red line.

I personally would get a clutch from Ebay seen and heard so many horror stories with them being fitted and being wrong even tho they said it was for that car. (and they all are 1's with red pressure plate painted)
