I'm fitting a DSM T25 to my Civic, and have come up with a couple of questions 
for anybody who has played with this turbo a bit.  First off, the wastegate 
actuator doesn't seem to align all that well to the wastegate arm.  It appears 
that the natural placement of the actuation rod is about 1/2" above the arm.  
Is this normal?  Second, the wastegate has more travel in it than the actuator 
allows.  The closed position looks fine, but the fully open position of the 
actuator is only about 80% of the full travel of the wastegate valve.  Is this 
normal?
