you know its funny both of the wastegate flaps are closed however it just doesnt' look normal I notice one of yours has a bend near the valve and one doesn't just like mine. It just doesn't seem normal to me. I guess i'm a little paranoid considering the packaging that was used.
John D's (pictured) are obviously correct.
(the right and left rods are different, and one is much more difficult to
work on/repair--I believe it is the passenger side one).
Yours is damaged from shipping and will need replace.
good luck
Marty
Spoke with Mike this morning he was certainly surprised at the condition of the turbos. I discovered last night that one of the actual wastegates was dented as well as one of the inlets on the turbos. Something went badly wrong during shipping. Anyways i've overnighted them out to him hopefully i'll be back up and running quickly.
Sorry to hear about that Ben. I had to ship my turbos off on Tuesday and I packed the hell out of them and taped them all up. I'm deathly afraid of messing up one of the turbine blades.
Yeah its a bummer but Mike is going to make things right. The internals looked fine I checked for damaged fins etc and there was nothing. So we should be good this time around. Fingers crossed.

Speaking of damaged goods... Just found out from Fedex that my box with my turbos and headers has been damaged. I'll know more tomorrow how bad everything is when the parts arrive at their destination!
