Waste Gate Adjustment ?
Are all factory waste gates adjustable? I have a late '99 & need to adjust the waste gate while installing an ATS ported housing. Mine doesn't have a lock nut like all the pictures I've seen when people are adjusting them. It also seems the end of the arm is crimped so you can't adjust it.

Not the answer I was hoping for...lol. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom yet once again. On a side note, do your gauge lights flicker? When I turn the brightness down mine start to flicker. I wasn't sure if I have a bad connection somewhere or what.

If the gauge dimmer is turned down it will flicker. I have found that there is not a whole bunch of adjustment as they go off with only about 1/3 of the adjustment. You should be able to adjust them, just make small adjustments.
