1982 Porsche 924 Turbo engine rebuild torque tube and waste gate reinstall

[@tommatous9984]

You can out the flex piece pretty much anywhere, I was going to put it on the horizontal section of the J pipe.
It seemed the most logical place.

Sorry, I meant the flange at the wastegate.
Once the wastegate is bolted down there is NO room for movement and yet the engine goes move on the mounts, stressing the j pipe flanges.

Of course, your car is later than mine, My wastegate bracket is mounted to the body of the car,
This is a terrible design in 1980.

Porsche probably saw the mounting issues and moved to the brackets on the torque tube.
