Before adjusting your wastegates, make one of these...
 ... and make your life a lot easier. Just grind a 90 degree segment out of a 10 mm closed-end wrench (to slip over the WG rod), then lop off the open end. Should shave hours off of the adjstment time. Ed |

How is this different from a flare nut wrench?

The problem is the wrench needs an angle at the head. Some flare nut wrenches aren't angled.
An angled flare nut wrench is perfect.

It is a great improv tool, but if I have the time to make one, then I can buy a flare nut.
