Preload the WGA with 1.5 to 2mm worth of preload (force the WGA over the pin on the flapper arm). This is a good starting point for our WGA.

Let me know if you need any help, thanks.

I'm pretty sure what he means is that if you have the WG closed and the actuator rod sitting by the WG stud that you will need to pull the rod 1.5-2 mm to get the rod eyelet over the WG arm's stud...does that make sense? If not then set the rod shorter then the stock rods overall length by approx. 1/4", attach and go for a ride, record max boost and then shortent the rod to increase boost or lengthen the rod to lower peak boost.
