adjust the wastegate rod

fuel pressure should rise 1psi for every pound of boost

i didnt think you could really adjust boost with the stock turbo/wastegate setup...thought you could only have it on 14.7 lbs

is it a steady 21#s or spiking? if its spiking you need to adjust the wastegate rod. and get an external boost controller.

this is my first turbo car/truck so bare with me....where should i have the wastegate adusted too. doesnt an external controller and the wastegate rod both control boost?

Re: fuel and boost spike?

do you have datamaster?

yes wastegate, external boost controller will control boost, i belive you adjust the wastegate rod in to bring down boost.

boost solenoid is what your talking about about. with boost solenoid disconnected base boost is present.
