turn down boost??
I have stage 2 and the boost is running off the waste gate setting and it is set to high then I want, how do I adjust the waste gate to turn down my boost a little? Im running about 20lbs under WOT and I want it around 16lbs
|
just adjust the nut on the waste gate, out means less boost, just need to play with it a bit.
|
By out do u mean turning it to the left or right, and do I have to take off the heat sheild? Im sorry ive never adjusted my waste gate before
|
Move the nut away from the wastegate, you should have to twist it left. And you will have to remove the heat shield.
|
ok thanks a lot for the help guys

I finally got the car into a shop so I could adjust the waste gate today. I only turned the nut a little bit so there was only one more thread showing then before. There was 4 threads before and i turned it a little and 5 are showing now, and when i took the car for a test run it pulled good under part throttle but when i floored it was like it lost all power and wouldn't pull at all, then the engine light blinked a few times and went out. What do u think is the problem, or what has happened?

could my waste gate be broken? I set it back the way it was and it still sputters under boost. Once the waste gate opens up, my engine goes crazy and has no power
|
there is nothing wrong with the wastegate this is normal, the engine doesnt like the wastegate so the check engine light is normal! i have had my wastegate on for about 2 months now and the check engine light comes on once in awhile but not all the time and i never had it flashing before but there is nothing wrong with the wastegate!

the boost is still to high try moving the wastegate in a little and try that. it took me forever to get my wastegate set just right. i had to change it a little and test drive it change it a little more and test it again. took me about all day but it was fun. i also noticed that after i set it the first time a few weeks later i had to adjust it agian to get it back just right. this is probly cause i bought a no name brand wga off ebay but its been working great now for almost 2 years with no more needing to adjust so im happy best 90 bucks i put into the car.
|
its weird tho because no matter where i adjust the wastegate now it does the same thing everytime. It doesnt even make it past 10lbs of boost and the engine just sputters out and the exhaust pops alot.
