get some balls. and if your engine is that precious to you maybe you should leave it N/A so it can have a long life.

You can make it adjustable by cutting the wastegate actuator arm then taking a die to each side to thread em. Then buy an extension bolt with two locker nuts. After that your adjustable. Search for it, theres a diagram on how to do it.

If people by you are blowing up motors every weekend running 8psi than there's something seriously wrong. With a good tune (even a semi crappy one that's really conservative) you should have no problem running the stock wg on a 14b. It's gated at 8psi stock.

Only problem with this is you get SERIOUS Lag. I had huge lag when I put my car back together last season, Flapper was only floppy just a tiny bit.

Run 8-9 that it is, or but a t3 wastegate that is around 5.5psi.

yea i heard serious turbo lag when u make or lenthing the rod i mean the motor is fine runs strong only has 102k so im not worried about that just i wanna run the lower boost until forged internals come when i get some money, i mean i can lower the boost for now and always get it back so...worse comes to worse i will do the cutting the wastegate actuator arm then taking a die to each side and thread em.

thanks for the help,
