I adjusted my boost using the rod connected to the wastegate actuator, I turned up the boost a little by turning the rod toward the actuator, but now I am not holding boost very well. I will be running like 8 psi, and then a few min later its at like 4 psi.



This the rod I'm talking about, it comes off the actuator and then latches onto the turbo. I took if off, loosened the nut, and turned the rod a few times toward the acuator. Does anyone know what is wrong, or what I can do??? Any help is great, thanks.

ya mine is doing the same ****

 

if you adjsut the rod in (making the total length of the rod shorter) it increased spring pressure and thus raises boost levels. only move it 1/2 turn at a time. the stock setting was 5psi, so to hit 8psi (and you better have some kind of fueling if your using the older kit w/o the electronic control box and a bov and intercooler) it should be like 1.5-2 turns. again turn it 1/2 rotation at a time.
