    Ford does not specify any adjustments/specifications for the wastegate actuator for the 1.0 ECOboost. On these turbochargers the wastegate actuator is considered to be an integral part of the turbocharger assembly that is not serviceable or available as a sparepart.

    To obtain the correct wastegate actuator adjustment you either have too experiment until the correct adjustment is obtained or precisely measure the amount of vacuum that is required to open the wastegate at an identical turbocharger.
