basically the thread title says it all.
I want to boost more than the internal wastegate on my turbo will allow, and I was wondering if anybody knows of any shops or something that would be able to do this type of work.


Thanks a lot for any help

 

Cut the arm in half, and remove some from each side, run a die across both pieces (thread the outside), then get an adjuster nut (a long nut for use on a turnbuckle or something), and voila, adjustable WG Actuator arm, just like came on my Saab.

OR, just do what everyone else does, and get a manual boost controller. It'll bleed off some of the boost before it gets to the WG actuator. Its cheap, easy, and works.

eventually you will need a stronger actuator.
on my old greddy kit, i had a problem where even with a boost control, there was so much exhaust gases trying to get through the little turbine housing, that is would push the wastegate flapper open at ~ 17 psi (guage).
only way i was able to get it to hold higher, was to buy a 11psi actuator and have the arm fabbed up.

which is what the OP is wanting someone to do.
