Lowering boost picture
 

im looking for the picture, diagram really, that shows how to lower boost. i've searched for it, and the link in the forced induction FAQ thread doesnt work.

It's the one with the side view of the actuator with the actuator arm cut, threaded and connected with an inversely threaded sleeve.

thanks.

Re:Lowering boost picture

Re:Lowering boost picture
 

yeah that's how you do it. the sell the threaded long nut that goes on both the wg rod ends at homedepot.

i know that, but i was trying to explain it to a buddy, and a visual aid is always helpful, and the the link doesnt work any more. i just thought someone would have is saved on disc somewhere

draw it for him. i'm sure you know how a w/g works.

actually, i opened my wastegate all the way and it would still boost the same amount as if i closed it, it would just take longer to spool.

This will raise the boost but it wont lower it.
If a wastegate is set at 8psi you cant lower it by threading the rod.

Re:Lowering boost picture
 

Sure you can, if the wastegate is cracked open a little bit it will only reach a certain amount. This also makes the turbo a bit laggy when doing this. Me personally I'd just find a gate that has a lower spring setting on the actuator, like a 5psi setup and fab it on your turbo.
