quick question...
 

altho i think i already know the answer, is there anyway to set the boost setting lower then the factory preset on the turbo...??

prolly noob question, but i don't care

Re: quick question...
 

you could do the ole' adjustable rod trick or a carb spring to help you adjust factory internal wastegates

Re: quick question...
 

i know about the rod trick...tho i dunno if i really want to try it...maybe as a last resort

& whats this carb spring trick? is it simple? sounds like i got to bust open the diaphram housing....

shows and example of the adj. rod and him cutting the gate open and putting a different spring in it..

or just get an exaternal one.. it would be easier

Re: quick question...
 

the reasons i'm not going external is;

-cost (gonna need 2)
-complexity (piping, etc)

i'm trying to stay simple & clean

i guess i'll have to go experiment in the garage ;)

thanks for the link

haha, i must be losing my mind, i went to tinker with the turbos today, & the rods are already threaded from the factory, funny i don't remember seeing that, but hell, it must be over a year since i last looked at these up close

tho i don't think they'll get low enough, i wanna start out at like 4psi
