<DIV>i am looking for info on finding out if the Big Head Wastegate acuater has helped others to decrease their 1/4 times and how much of an improvement their is, my current maximum boost is about 28 psi and am wondering if it will also be higher, i have also read that most catastrofic engine and turbo problems had a big head installed, what is your say on the fact, </DIV>
<DIV>thanks FREDhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif</DIV>

DONT KNOW ABOUT THE TIMES, BUT THE BIG HEAD IS ADJUSTABLE. PUT THE BOOST WHERE YOU WANT IT.

<DIV>so the stock turbo with a stack and the big head on i could raise my boost presure from 28 to 34, would that not make a large hp difference as wellhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif, do most people run it</DIV>

34 is a bit on the edge so to speak.... 32 is safer IMHO... reading from an accurate gauge on the post CAC side.

I've seen good results with the Big Head, but have been fiddling with a wastegate valve to help control things better yet. I haven't done enough testing to know whether the valve eliminates the need for a Big Head, but it sure does help the stock actuator...
