31453, What do you guys think of this free boost control?
Posted by 420aVenger, Sep-18-02 04:05 PM
Well it's published by Gus (the Mopar turbo guy) so I know it's not BS. My T3 actuator arm is already adjustable so this should be just an easy trial and error process. The question is, do you think that in order to have max boost set at 13psi that the actuator arm will be too long for the WG to close? Gus talks about setting his max boost to 22psi. 13psi is pretty low compared to what he is talking about.

What's your goal Matt ?
a lower psi level for daily use switchable to 13 psi by the flip of a switch in the car ?

There a few more different hook up possibilities too

I just need to know more about what you want to do

My goal is just a constant 13psi all the time. I don't have all the stuff necessary to run higher so right now I just want one level of boost.

And your wastegate activator is 10 PSi stock ?

I cut some off of my wastegate activator Rod...hehe

I shorted the rod a bit.

Yeah it's 10psi Alain. And before you tell me that it won't work.... I figured it out :P There's no way to run 13psi and keep the WG closed. I was only hitting 8psi and it was pretty slow. I found a pretty good boost leak and fixed it so now it's hitting 10psi and holding it. It's as fast as it was on the stock motor so I think I'll leave it hear for a while until I buy a MBC.
