My car has only been boosting to 8psi, after looking at the wastegate I noticed the nut was as far back as it could go, I took it off, sprayed it with some wd40 then tried to adjust, come to find out it was already stripped, I'm assuming this is why my boost was low. Is there a way to fix the stripped nut? Thanks
Take off the adjustment rod and replace the nut? Personally I'd ditch the primitive technology put on a stock wga and get a dsp and run off of pcm controlled boost via the solenoids.
Ok picked up a good stock wastegate that came from a car with only 65k, hooked all the line back up now it's only boosting to 4psi. Only mod the car has is the rice plate. The red line is unhooked. Any ideas? Thanks
Like he said, go back to pcm boost with solenoids. So that means looking up a boos vac diagram on the site and connecting everything up as it was stock. Next boost leak test the car....
