Can someone advise me on the washer size needed to use the "washer" method to adjust my front turbo?

I replaced my rear actuator arm, and i have no more 30ff codes, however when I look at my logs (i am bone stock) my WGDC hangs at 100% and I believe I may still have some boost leaking (probably from the front turbo).

I am also interested in this question.

I read that most people who did the washer method, used 2 standard 8mm spacers on both screw, so 4 spacers in total. I think the thickness of a spacer is something like 1mm to 1.4mm or something.

The best thing is probably to try with 2 spacers.

It will depend on the adjustment needed. There isn't a one size fit all application here Some actuators need 1 turn, some 3 turns, some need 1 washer of 1mm, some need 3mm washer. Measure and install washer size accordingly.

Right what i see a lot of people miss is testing the wastegate closing at 5.9HG.

My plan is to get a bunch of washers, put them in, and go until my front wastegate shuts at 5.9HG.

When i adjusted my rear i tested the front and it seemed to do a partial close around 6HG and full close around 7HG.
