Need Help with my internal wastegate
Ok I just bought this turbo
the internal wasted gate is set around 10-12 ish, I want to run about 8. I dont want to buy an external wastegate and I can't change the length of the arm becuase there arent any threads, so my question is should I buy this?

any sugestions would be great thanks

Re: Need Help with my internal wastegate
Put washers between the bracket for the actuator and the turbo. It will bring the actuator closer to the wastegate and lower the boost.
I learned this recently. :P

Re: Need Help with my internal wastegate
No, shortening the rod will raise boost. Doing this will bring the entire assembly closer to the wastegate, which would leave the wastegate slightly open.
Just remember, when you use this method to lower boost, you will also increase spool time, which sucks. You are better off buying the appropriate actuator.

Re: Need Help with my internal wastegate
i have a noob question to add to this. if i dont shorten my rod which is adjustable already would putting a mbc on my setup screwed all the way out just yield the lowest boost pressure the wastegate is set at?
