Glad it worked Marco! The short answer is I did replace the clip… I ended up using the clamp part of a a small binder clamp, as someone else suggested on a forum… It's quite crazy but mine has been running on a small binder clamp since September last year and it's working like a charm. You use the loop on the handle as the clamp and the actual binder clamp just holds the handle bit tight and in place… The internet is amazing for finding and sharing little hacks… I'm glad this one worked for you.
This is exactly what was wrong with my car…..was throwing a p1105 code and my boost gage was barely moving on acceleration. Did exactly what you did in this video and now the light is off and the car is running perfect haha so thanks for posting this! Also it looks like there should be some sort of snap ring where the actuator connects to that wastegate arm did u replace that?
How to remove the bottom bolt? I tried and it's to hard to get rid of it.
