Lost Wastegate Actuator C-Clip
Hello, Does anyone know what size c-clip that holds the adjustable wastegate actuator arm to the flapper post in the downpipe? Mine flew off while adjusting and is lost. I assume you can pick up c-clips at a hardware or home store...Thanks.

Re: Lost Wastegate Actuator C-Clip
Go to your local hardware store and they usually have a bins of clips, springs, and bits ... I used to call our Ace Hardware store the "TR Performance Parts" store!
They have the clips ... and the turbo studs and a lot of other odds and ends. I used to use a piece of safety wire wrapped around the "groove" in the flapper arm when racing ... easy to remove and replace quickly (especially when things are hot).

A little more obvious, but handy for those removing it frequently for adjustments: an alligator clip.

or you can go to your local autoparts place and buy a pack of linkage clips [like the ones used to hold the TV/throttle cable to your throttle body] WORKS GREAT and you will have a bunch extra. HTH
