i have a 14b turbo and wondering how to reduce boost. i think stock wastegate is around 8psi, but would like to run ~5 for now. i was reading you can extend the arm on the actuator, but i can't find that post anymore. Anyone?

u can get a boost controller

ok thanks,, i was under the impression a boost controller only increased boost. So boost controllers can be set from 1psi-up?

FYI a boost controller will not go below set wastegate pressure

so it can't be set below the wg pressure?? then back to original q. - how can boost be set lower then stock wastegate pressure?

I cant remember off had which way it need to be turned but you can take the rod from the acuator to the waste gate and either thread it in or out to increase decrease boost

boost controllers can not be turned down...only up...sounds like you have an internal wastegate i think you spun it towards you too turn down boost (which ever way closes it more) good luck

Guess my 14.5psi spring is out of the question.

ok,, so all i have to do is spin the acuator --&gt; wastegate connector to turn down boost? as easy as that? off a dsm 1g 14b turbo

yah 14.5 spring is about 10 psi too high for me
