Installing Waste Gate Diaphragm

I have pre fit the bracket and diaphram at the shop, this is a little tight but with patience you can do it. Lay on your back with your feet to the front of the car, look up just past the compressor outlet, there is a bolt hole that held on you’re A/C bracket to the engines motor mount.  The boost diaphram bracket will bolt to right side of the bolt hole.  The bracket has an odd cut to it, that will bind the bracket to the motor mount.  But first slide the boost diaphragms adjusting rod past the oil dipstick and on to the wastegate arm.  Now position the bracket over the A/C bolt hole and bolt together finger tight.  Be very careful to make sure the waste gate is fully closed, and on the other hand make sure as you tighten the bolt down that there is not too much tension on the bracket.  If the rod needs adjustment, adjust so the gate has just closed, you will get the hang of it after a few tries.
