Default Cheap *** way to raise boost :)

HAHAHA I poked some small holes in the vacuum line for the wastegate solenoid, and I've found about every 3 holes makes another lb of boost HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm so ghetto.

Just watch that your holes don't turn into tears and next thing you know the line is off... You can get fish tank manifolds for a buck or two at the pet store.. put them inline and open up as many as it takes to get the boost level your after..

Yeah good point Todd. Those holes WILL get bigger and next thing you know you don't have wastegate function which translates into a big boom. So yeah just use a plastic T or fish tank valve.

just make a mbc with a needle valve so you can mark it for different levels of boost.
