Accessing Wastegates from Underneath

[ht_addict]

Gonna disconnect my JB4 before I take her in for main seal and filter housing replacement. Before I take out the CAI and make room to get to disconnecting my EWG wires, can the wastegates be accessed from underneath the car once I remove the cover?

I think from above will be significantly faster/easier. You can get to the wastegate connectors in about 10 minutes (fender brackets & airboxes removed), but with connectors that haven't been off before, I pulled a few more hoses including those that connect to the recirc valves to get better access. Call it a half hour of work.

From below, they're pretty far up and you have a lot in the way. On the driver's side, when I wanted to check the wastegate linkage, I couldn't reach it even with a set of needle nose pliers.
