wastegate help

[atkonkler]

I got a new Watergate actuator and am wondering how you go about adjusting it? I've read previous threads but they are not to informative on what happens if adjustment is too much or to little. Just looking for some guidance on this from the wise people. What's the advantage of moving the rod in or out ? If you got any info let me know.

The easy way i adjusted the stock actuator
is with a air pressure gauge and foot pump
connect a vacuum hose with a tee fitting and
pump the air to 8 psi just when the actuator arm is
opening the higher psi the later it will bleed off
exhaust gases causing boost spikes ......

Re: wastegate help

Thats how I did mine and it works great for me. There are a couple other vids on youtube that show you how to do it as well, thats just how I did mine. If you screw it too far in, it takes more pressure to open, too little and it comes open early.
