Thanks for posting easy explanation of how to set up starting point and fine tune your boost ...and important at the end don't overboost or it will lean out and damage stuff . Anyone attempting to do this should read up and see what turbo they have and what stock boost psi it's set to this is a starting point you shorten the rod to add more or lengthen it to subtract to get to desired spec thanks 😊👍

@esunayg6 жыл бұрын
if i didnt get anything wrong, you ve increased the arm length of the actuator. but it reduces the regulated pressure. it will open the by-pass way sooner than before. you need to decrease and take the spring force so the spring activates later. this would have increase pressure but could damage inlet pipes and intercooler.

Hey I liked the video I have a turbo'ed Nissan Juke. Had it Dyno tuned with stock wastegate control armand stock turbo, I feel like I'm loosing power or boost so I gave the actuator a clockwise turn and never felt a bit of difference.. I ordered a new wastegate control arm which is stock at 7 PSI or LB's of pressure. I bought an upgraded turbo smart control arm and never put it on because it's a 14PSI spring inside.. I was wondering if I am tuned to 15 PSI and swop out the 7psi actuator control arm for the 14 PSI TS control arm.. Will it mess up my tune or will it just add another 7 lb's of boost to the tune or car???

Buy a aftermarket adjustable waste gate actuator that has adjustable springs, the ecu will adjust the boost electronically but for example if your turbo can handle 30+psi but your wastegate actuator will only hold 15psi even tho you set your ecu to 20+psi it will only be at 15psi if boost because of your stock actuator. See the turbos limits on max psi ratings and look into upgrading the wastegate actuator or leave it completely open to get the stututu sound and then adjust your standalone accordingly.
