If you mess with the electronic waste gate arm at all, you'll need to recalibrate electronic waste gate unit using ISTA. Other than clocking the turbo perhaps, I think that's all you can really adjust or calibrate with the turbo assembly.

You can't clock this turbo at all, otherwise the waste gate actuator arm won't line up. There are pretty much zero adjustments that can be made to this turbo besides the waste gate arm but like you said it'll need to be recalibrated via ista.

In spun the wheel of the turbo a little bit, I was comparing it with the pure spin 🙄.
I guess I have to recalibrate it?

No you can spin the compressor wheel all you want it won't affect anything unless you hit it pretty hard.

What we are talking about is the compressor housing and rotating it relative to the exhaust housing - other wise known as clocking a turbo. If you didn't disassemble the two halves of the turbo and move it around to the point where the waste gate arm won't fit then you are fine.

Yes, replace it with a bigger one.
