Wastegate actuator adjustment

[realspartan]

Hi guys,

Just to make sure I have my facts straight, rule of thumb is that every one turn to shorten the rod is a 1 PSI increase in boost and the stock rod length is 5.25 inches (base of rod to center of hole). Correct? If boost is set for about 17 PSI on a performance chip extending the rod one turn would decrease boost by 1 PSI to about 16PSI? Makes sense? Thanks.

Regards,

Easiest way to remember is think of the rod like a fuse on a bomb...the shorter the fuse the sooner it goes boom

But yes, your thinking is correct longer is less shorter is more...dont hold your breath on it being exactly 1lb every application if different...
