waste gate mod
- Thread starter sparepartsracing

if you have a lb7 you can install a ppe boost valve or make a adjustable air release in the wastegate line to boost your pressure
i have an lb7 i have the boost valve i thought it was something else...im pissed i only hit 26lbs max with stealth 135 tune
cut the shaft on the WG and take about 1/2" out of it. than thread it ,one side left the other right hand thread. install a coupling nut with l and r hand threads and now you have a adjustable gate don't forget the jam nut.
or you could just unplug the gate but will have to watch your gauge. try to keep it under 32psi.

well mine maxed at 31psi clamped but im worried about where all the pressure is going....ordering a bd wastegate dont need to blow a turbo over $200
not saying to do so but i have bin running without a gate on mine for over 2 years and have no shaft end play. I'm not saying it is safe you just need to watch your gauges boost/drive psi.
well only thing im worried about is where all that pressure is going and my turbo got louder i just dont want to be pulling metal chunks out of my engine.... although that would be a great weekend project
