RE: wastegate adjustment
If you are going to mess with the boost you need to do it right.
1st install and aftermarket boost gauge.
Get a base stock boost level I will bet between 5 to 7 PSI.
Then you can by and install a Manual boost controller. Then turn it up to between 10 to 12 PSI safely.
Some people adjust the waste gate as well to make the boost smoother.
But like I said first install a boost guage to prevent overboosting and hurting the engine.

I would do the MBC before the waste gate adjustment. This way you will be safer.

RE: wastegate adjustment
ok. thank you tech. another thing, why does it not spool at all when the motors not under load such as in neutral. does a bov replace a wastegate and would there be any gains other then the tssssssssssssst sound. i could tear apart a motor and put it back together with ease but turbos i am new to and have yet to understand.

RE: wastegate adjustment
Exhaust gas speed and pressure help the spinning of the turbine. That comes when your under load, and more exhaust is coming out of the motor because more gas and air are coming in the intake...
Does that help make sense??? If you tap the throttle really fast, you will see some small boost.
