alright i need some help in understanding just what the heck a wastegate or wastegate soleniod is. also does my car (84 t type) have one?

Your waste gate is on the top of the turbo , its the part with the rod on it. It controls the boost that the turbo makes. The more it is turned in the more boost you will have , more you turn it out the less boost it will have. There is a puck in the elbow of the turbo , the more you open the waste gate the more boost bypass the turbo.

if you dont have a adj fuel press reg , and you should have a good fuel pump 307, 340. then i would not turn up the boost or you will be putting head gaskets in .
