Try it man!!!!! If you get scared, wind it back out. It's a 20min mod. I don't have an MBC.

 

How do you know how much you are wounding it? Are there clicks or something? Do you still drive on a fully tightened turned rod? what are you pushing daily since you have a boost gauge and how safe is it? Can you feel the performance increase? Can you actually just describe in your best potential what a "turn" actually is? Is this some kind of a bolt or stick looking thing? What constitutes for one rotation or half like CRBD is saying? Than, how do you know what to turn back to go too stock? It may be a stupid question since I have not actually seen this rod or any on any turbo car ever but work with me cause I get paranoid with a nearly 40k car lol. is stock wound all the way to the left as much as it goes or something?

What else do you have on your car besides the MAF pipe that makes you think it has such high gains for 12s with the waste gate adjustment? I don't have that, I have the things in my sig only.

 

Are you still alive or did your car start on fire and you burn with it?

 

That's a little dramatic. My car is working great and I'm fine, thanks.

 

lol sorry, just wanted to get your attention. Let me know when you finally track it with the WG wound all the way.

 

Will do. I'm going to the track this weekend.

 

final outcome on this free mod?

 

wow cool results.

 

I never saw a "how to" write up for this, so I did one today. I think I could have done this whole thing in 15-20 minutes, but I actually measured all the wastegate cracking pressures at each half turn of the actuator clevis. The writeup is bigger than 100k so I can't attach it, therefore I just copied it here:

Position ------ Wastegate Open
---------------------------------------
Stock ---------- Approx 14.0 psi
½ turn -------- Approx 14.5 psi
1 turn --------- Approx 14.8 psi
1 ½ turns ---- Approx 15.0 psi
2 turns ------- Approx 15.2 psi
2 ½ turns ---- Approx 15.5 psi
3 turns ------- Approx 15.8 psi
3 ½ turns ---- Approx 16.0 psi
4 turns was not possible on my car


Pics of the test rig below. A simple bleed valve system running off my air compressor.

I some mod wants to attach the how to, that's fine. I tried getting it below 100k but I was unable.

 

and these turns are clockwise or counterclockwise? Thanks for doing this by the way, I know many of us were wondering if it really made any difference or not.

 

Well, it turns clockwise when standing on the passenger side of the car. From the driver's side, it turns counter clockwise. Sorry.

Anyway, just turn the clevis so you see less threads after it's turned. OR, when you back the jam nut off, turn the clevis so it moves towards the jam nut.

 

thanks for the write up. that helps out alot. I am going to try this tomorrow.

 

Great Information Evostang.

 

Can someone link me to CBRDs thread with the new dyno tests of loose pressure vs. tight? I'm a dumbass and can't seem to find it.
