ok i searched through, and i found that you just extent the connecting arm betweent actuator and wastegate. Is it as easy as that? but how do you extent the arm and by how much??

i have some problem-let me know when you find out how much to extend-email me bedsaul64@surry.net

i'll tell youwhat i told turbochargedhondagirl. buy a manual boost controller for like 12 bucks off ebay. or spend 80 for a turboxs kind. i would try to mess with the lengthof your wastegate actuator arm. unless it's adjustable. i don't know which type it is. regardless just still to the old fastioned vacuum boost controller.

i was thinking the same thing. why dont you just put an MBC inline from the wastegate actuator to the wastegate... but then i heard that MBCs are only used to ADD boost. if you have a stock 15 psi actuator you can only add more boost with an MBC. you cant cut a 15psi actuator to 5 psi with an MBC. is that true?

search the net i read of a MBC made from fitting a spring and a ball bearing from parts at home depot.. its there, just be patient.

yah i read about it on the new user FAQ
check that out.

what about being to adjust the actuator lower? anyone know anything about that? i thought that MBCs were made to adjust boost higher only. i dont think you can use an MBC to reduce boost...

so basiclly the wastgate opens at the same set psi but your not getting as much boost to the engine because theflapper isn't all the way closed
did i read that right?
