What Do You Guys Suggest For A Clip For The Adjusting Rod To The Wastegate?

i use the same clips that are used for the throttle linkage and the cruise control linkage.

Do You Know Where I Can Get Them?

Thanks. You Gave Me A Great Idea. I Found A Cotter Pin That Works Great. It Is Long Enough To Keep My Fingers Away From The Heat Too.

there you go. GBodyParts.com Online has them and also i think you can find them at local auto parts stores. also some people use alligator clips.

Go to an electrical store (radio shack) and get an alligator clip. Easy to take on and off and no risk of it going flying during the process.

Alligator clip


BlackBandit has the clip right.
I have used an alligator clip for years.

only problem with the alligator clip is it looks funny. Might be just me.

No, you're right. It's just so darned functional though! I may go back to a clip in the future as I've been running a boost controller for awhile now and haven't needed to make wastegate adjustments in years.

same here. i have my wastegate pretty much set. Dont touch it as much as i use to.

Roach clip works good for me.

RJC boost controller here.... set the wastegate once, and then make the adjustments to the controller, no burns and seems to work better too.

I used a hairpin style clip... that you can buy an assortment of in the help section of Autozone I think.....or many other parts houses.... it works great.... and doesn't look like a roach clip
