lengthening the wastegate arm will lower boost, yes.

It also makes the wastegate leak and your spool time will goto ------- hell.

get a new wastegate with a lower psi, or run higher boost

Otherwise, you can only go as low as what the actuator is set at. I would just get a new/used.

What??

That was thinking he already had a MBC on there...

If his wastegate opens at 6 and he has his MBC set to 8, he could technically lower it, but only back to 6. :P

^^^^^^^
Yeah, or he could just remove the MBC.. I'm a little lost as to what you were trying to say - but as long as you understand it's all good

the only real way to lower boost is to get an actuator that has a lower setting.

But you have to take into consideration that we are really lazy and don't actually like to do 'work'. As a matter of fact, we like to just float on reputation alone :P

For the record, the search function DOES work.. you just have to tweak it out in advanced search and know what all the stupid buttons/pulldown menus do and ----
