cheap adjustable wastegate mod

ive just finished messing in the shed i got a wastegate today off the scrapyard. it was off an audi its an external one i was looking at ways to make it adjustable so i cant fit it to the saab 2.3 ive got. and it was easyer then i thought.







all you have to do is drill the top and a washer pops out and its already got a allen bolt to adjust it



thought i would post this as its a cheap upgrade for a wastegate for max boost
lol iam gonna blow the crap out of this engine

autobits clakes lane willenhall westmidlands. ill have to find the number out. i go there every weekend just to look around i had a dumpvalve and s**t bleed valve for £5 they deal with scrap steel mostly so i think thats why the car parts are cheap but they have about 100 cars and crush about 250 a week.and they do get lpg kits now and again
