Maybe Yall can help
The guyson the superduty forum aren't much help and aint willing because I have an OBS. I guess they are to good to help us out. But here's the question. My dad has a 2000 F-350 diesel. It seems to have an adjustable wastegate. There is a rod with threads on it that is connected to the wastegate. Is there an adjustment that can be done to achieve more boost? Any help fron the freindly forum is appreciated. Thanks guys

If you want to acheave more boost, remove the red vac line that goes to the waste gate canister. When you do this, the waste gate will no longer open, and thus provide more boost. As long as he doesn't have big injectors or anything like that, you'll never see a boost level that will hurt the truck. However, it will see boost levels that will cause a check engine light from over boost. At that point your only option is to use a boost fooler.

There's a boost line going to the MAP sensor. That map sensor tells the computer how much fuel to give the motor. But if that sensor see's over like 23psi, it will throw a check engine light. A boost fooler goes in line with the map sensor and bleeds off any psi over say 20psi. That way the map won't freak out. And no, unplugging the waste gate won't hurt anything on a stock truck.

the red vacum line is attached to the waste gate solonoid, that is bolted the the intercooler x-pipe. it runs from there across the left side of the intake over top of the turbo inlet pipe and slides onto the wastegate actuator housing.
