BMW slow.

I think it's a 5 series but I'm not sure, it's too small back there.

Make sure you don't let the rod turn AT ALL or else you will ruin the WGA.

My rod is turning but I feel like I make a satisfying amount of boost, is it definitely broken ?
When I say turning I mean that it has some play, it's not spinning freely.

+ I don't know how this happened but the bolt unscrewed itself and fell off as I was driving, leaving the WG open.
I'm trying to find a bolt but it's impossible in France...

The rod will rotate a little bit, that's just fine. I think that post was referring to actually adjusting the WGA. If you're adjusting it, you don't want to force the rod to rotate.
