Adie Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Have a word with Mark. It was TDI that did mine. Mark said that they've done a few in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam@TDi Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 The trick is to fix the waste gate arm in place under tension instead of attempting to weld the waste gate flap itself to the cast housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
