help with wastegate install

[cybillized]

just got a new factory style adjustable wastgate in and need to know how to set it up for proper operation. thanx. justin.

you can take the one on your car and messur it and make the other the same or alittle shorter(note. shorter will make it have MORE boost)

[ZachT]

by setting it you mean adjusting the threaded rod. you can set it how ever you want to.

shortening the rod will make the spring tension strong raising the boost, lengthening the rod will make it weaker lowering the boost.

this is how i have mine at the moment, with no vaccuum line to it.

just an example--if you set it at 18 (no vac line) and try to run a manual boost controller 18 is the max, you can adjust lower from there. or 26 or what ever.

then again i dont know what kind of spikeing issues and boost creep a guy will have without a line, i haven't got to test much on my glh, but this week i will.

the man gus ran stuff this way so its not a bad idea

If my memory serves me the correct setting is just closed and then an additional half or full turn... But as the above post states you can set them for a higher base pressure.
