DIY wastegate is 100% safe?

Ok so i want to to the DIY WG mod, but im still skeptical. Only mod is hks drop in.

So just double checking, if i adjust the wastegate and do all the turns, its completely safe correct? No if ands ors or buts?
Thanks

If no boost gauge

And no idea what boost you are running

But you are wondering why your engine blew?

i did the mod before i had my car tuned and i would say its a bad idea. my car would hit boost cut a 6000 rpm and throw a cel w/2,3,4 turns it woundnt matter. my advice save some money get the car tuned, these things are to expensive to be doing these kind of mods.

^Agreed. Spend the money on a tune before you wind up spending it on repairs.

Tune it first ... there are much safer ways to get power then messing with your wastegate.
