It's OK to increase it but not too far. I'm also looking for options in this manner and have another thread going about a TST Boost Elbow - far less bucks than the adjustable wastegate from Bank$ Got Juice? 03-02-2005, 04:21 PM Juice, care to comment on this):h Ya, Don't friggin do it! Even if you have a spare turbo laying around...it is a RPITA to change!

Better set it with a boost gauge in your truck. When I first put my WGFBW(wastegate fooling boost widget) on my truck I was running down the road about 70 and started to roll into it and saw my needel swinging past 32psi and it hit 34 with me squealing oh SH&^T!!! I backed off its factory setting and I dont swing anymore boost than peak. I am contemplating yanking it off or doing some tweaking on it......

There... problem solved):h All the boost you need! dmaxalliTech 03-04-2005, 10:38 AM That boost valve works just fine when set properly.

I am contemplating yanking it off or doing some tweaking on it...... 30-32.....been working fine for quite a few of us.....definetly makes a difference. I guess we could say the same for the Bighead, but that has to be adjusted "properly" as well....most performance oriented stuff does....I like the valve better myself. ratlover 03-04-2005, 11:29 AM Just meant that its not fool proof and safe and you need gauges any time you start screwing with your WG. I figured it was factory set at 10 psi.....I'd be good to go. Well if it wasnt for my gauges i would be having a juice moment by now. I have it set now were I swing no more boost than before. I am using the lindsey racing deal made for a porche, duno if this is one and the same or not.

I'll tell you, theres nothing like seeing that 0-35psi gauge go around 35psi going back to 0!!!!!! Done that a few times....... Since then, I have installed the Banks BigHead and limited in to 32-34. Truck seems to pull alot harder when is that range than before when it would go past it, hoovering at 35+. | ||
