So, I will bet you that when my car starts ticking again, it will be close to the same position where it was before I adjusted it.

Also, just to let you guys know, I drove to work this morning and the wastegates are working perfectly!
Just before I went into work, I stopped at the gas station and reved it a couple times just so I can hear just the engine.

Sorry if I am mis-reading here, but are you saying that the rod itself lossens out from the end adjuster by itself?

i had a idea or i was pretty sure it was the actuator slowly failing and not pushing or for this matter, pulling in the Actuator arm inside enough to make a full close of the wastegate.

btw i forgot to thank you for the hard work/dedication and knowledge you are sharing.
