7149, wastegate questions? (quick)
Posted by spaniard372, Jul-06-01 11:41 AM
**in reference to deltagate mark II w/star stage II kit (7psi)**

how do you increase boost via the wastegate? turn screw clockwise and tighten down, or counter-clockwise and loosen out? also, 7psi actuator means exactly what? sorry guys, it's been so long since i've thought about this i can't remember anything. hehe...freshman year at college will do that to ya. :D

You turn it clock wise ( tighten ) to increse boost...But I highly recomend you do NOT do that. You could tighten too much and close the wastegate shut and it won't open!!! JUST BE CAREFUL!!!!

And a 7 pound spring will give you about 5psi...give or take 1/2.

thanx alot for clearing that up for me. i was just confused cuz when i first installed the turbo my car was overheating so i couldn't remember if i had loosened or tightened the wastegate to try and reduce the boost. anyone else having overheating problems? Turbo Technology warned about that before i put the turbo on cuz the front mount conceals the radiator. neways...appreciate the help fellas. oh yeah, raizin..."my doo-hicky is stuck in the thinga-ma-jig...but frankly i just don't mind!" :D

According to my calculations
Just stick the rimrod in the doohicky and run the crossmember into the plenum on top of the multi port injected differential.. then splice into the convoluted ratio of the inverted cucamonga tie rod.. wrap the insulation twice (not once) twice.. and then mangle the strut tower on the flim flam with the cumquat from the port and polished german speed bearings, scratch your ass.. do si do.. put your right foot in.. eclectric slide.. fart and call it a day.

Or.. you could just turn the screw clockwise to increase boost.
