I just got the snap ring off of my SR T25, the compressor housing moved freely shes a newer turbo wasnt heated up too much to make it hard to turn or anything, overall was a pretty easy job...but my question is...my actuator arm is at a slight angle now..it still opens the gate fine because i can push it and it opens the gate like it should, moves freely and all...do you think the slight angle will hurt anything?

As long as the arm isn't contacting the opening in the actuator body, it should be fine. I never had any problems with mine anyway...

it is contacting it, but not with like pressure, its barely rubbing against it.

that'll be fine. The other nice side effect will be that you are 'preloading' the wastegate valve, and will have a small increase in boost too.
