it's supposed to be a C clip that holds the rod to the wastegate acuator... look around in the box and try to find it... if not go call up SF or go out to a junk yard and pull one off of an old turbo...

If the rod pops off you'll just make 0 boost.

They normally come with the clips. That looks the T3/T04B but I'm not sure. What's the AR on the side of it?

You are talking about the pix right? I got it off SF website because i don't have pic of my turbo yet. I will take some. I worry how good it is/safe... to have extra injectors in charge pipe. It come with the kit when i brought it.I not happy with it. What a good cheap safe way to get more fuel, FMU? one of shop i going to take into for installation they recomment me to get fuel pump.

i've been running mine with no clip for a couple months and it hasn't popped off yet. It also depends on how much u are boostin, cuz the less boost u run the looser the rod will be.

^^^can someone draw a somekind a sketch please???? I might be needing one too...

C Clip... I think is a washer like metal but forms a C and has a sharp point on edge for locking, and where you can slide it in a round metal bar and it locks itself up? if it is... then I know what you guys talkin about...
