Can the Wastegate be made adjustable for Increased boost...ie..Threaded rod..Tighning INCREASES Boost 1 pound per turn....on ALL other Turbocharged Vehicles they Simply Remove the wastegate..Thread the Wategate Arm for Adjustability..replace it..and either Tighten the arm to INCREASE Boost or loosen the arm to DECREASE boost....VERY simple and RELIABLE Boost Control..in many ways it is BETTER than the Hallman Bleed valve a lot of guys use..Besides it being FREE!!

 

I tightened my stock one up some but ran into some serious spiking issues. I returned it back to the stock setting and the spiking is completely gone.

 

Uhhhh...HOW did you Tighten it up...the Stocker Non Adjutable?? Did you use my method??

Anyone ELSE have success with this??

 

Hello....NOBODY Interested in a FREE Safe Horsepower Mod????

 

the stock one is already threaded.

 

The stock rod is adjustable. There isnt much there but it can be done. The problem with doin so is the wastegate wont open as far. Many of the people who have don this have had irregular boost in different gears and spiking. I have the FP high load gate that is meant to be a adjusted and havent had any problems. I still have a a Forge MBC cause u cant adjust the rod after the car has been driven do to the heat and loation.

 

DO NOT DO THIS MOD!!!!!!

YOU WILL SCREW UP YOUR WASTEGATE!!!!

I am only telling you this because my wastegate is now shot, within 3000 miles I had my wastegate threaded down near the bottom and could hold 28 pounds of boost all day long! The mod works great. . . For a little while. . .Im not upset though because while the wastegate was adjusted I ran my best times at the track!

JUST A WORD OF WARNING TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO ADJUST THEIR WASTEGATE!!

 

How about just picking up a SRARE at the Dealer...Thier a VERY Simple Item, how much could it be??? And then just removing the Stocker for Safekeeping??

Sooo..what is it..ARE they threaded already...haven't gotten down there yet....

 

TWO OF US HAVE ALREADY SAID YES IT IS BUT DONT DO IT. Buy a aftermarket actuator that is meant to be adjusted. There about 125 bucks. Forge and Forced Performance make them.

 

OK, I only asked again as he said he "Had his Threaded"...OK, so it is ALREADY Threaded....Instead of Spending $125.00, I'll just go to the Dealer and buy a $40.00
Stock (Threaded) Replacement, and use that and Save the Stocker....

 

I think u only read what u want. Go ahead and do it and screw ur car all up and come back here and cry about how ur had problems and ur cars all screwed and and u need help to fix it. The actuall diaphram is different is them not the rod and adjustment part. Maybe this will fix ur "UNDER POWERED IX) as u say. Keep up the perfect launches.

 

FYI a stocker at the dealer for a IX is $175.00

 

THAT is why I asked, if I DIDN'T ask I would not have known that...I've been around Turbo Cars ALOT Longer than you FOR SURE, so THIS car won't be Scewed Up

 

Yea I Forgot, FRIGGIN IMPORTS!!

 

You might have been around more but I Bet ive turned more wrenches on them and have alot faster one and have tuned alot more then u have every riden in Im not here to get into a P#ssing contest with u. ur gonna do what u want anyway. I think u justed wanted to here some tell u, u should do it. and noone has. Im done here.
