Does anyone know anything about adjusting the wastegate actuator rod in or out. When I installed my new actuator I unscrewed it until it slid over the pin. Someone told me I was supposed to blow air in it or something to get it to extend beforeI put it in place so it would hold my wastegate closed longer. I also did my ebpv the same way. If anybody knows anything about this I would appreciate the info. Thanks

 

i did a write up on how to adjust the actuator rod to gain more boost. check out this thread, post #23 hope it helps

You'll have no boost with that sort of adjustment. You must set the wastegate actuator rod so that the spring in the diaphram housing holds the wastegate firmly shut. It requires a lot of muscle to pull the rod onto the wastegate lever. Or some compressed air blown into the actuator diaphram to move the rod out and allow you to connect to the wastegate lever.

 

What about the ebpv? Do I need to pull it out and reconnect it too?

 

No, it'll be fine.
