Fantastic how to video. There is a reason there is a reason a picture is worth a thousand words (or in this case a video). Thanks for posting this up! Perfect timing for me also as I was planning on checking my wastegate adjustment next week.

[Q-Ship]

agreed. A clear and helpful video.

[Tyler T5R]

Excellent video, thanks!

Very nice. On a 94-98, when loosening the 10mm nut on the wastegate rod,
shouldn't you hold the rod with a set of pliers to keep from twisting it?
I thought the diaphragm end could be damaged if you don't.

[Ipd]

You're correct, it is wise to hold the rod with pliers if you find the 10mm lock nut is highly corroded to the threaded shaft!

Another great IPD how-to! Awesome job on the video Lucky. I've been meaning to check this on my car, but a couple of the small steps weren't explained as well as it was shown in this video. I'm confident I could do this now. Thanks a lot to Lucky and IPD.

might be worth mentioning how hot the heat shield and turbine housing get, just to CYA

[Ipd]

Good point, thanks for the input!

Lucky you no mackin hoes in the video. When I did my wastegate shit I took a silver sharpie & marked where the rod was aligned so that in case it did spin it

i will be ordering this very shortly actually.

i have been having strange issues with overboost lately. hopefully this will help me solve it.

a good how to vid! IPD for the win, as always.

This is just an idea, but the chart at the end of the video can have the appropriate pressures for each turbo name as well...for example, 16T with X wastegate should be at X PSI, instead of just marking which engine. I have no idea where any of these turbos came off lol.

Other than that, great video and great product. I like the idea of taking pressure from the tire!

Thanks for the video! I've tried this out the other day and set it to 5 PSI and wow, the car is a monster in the mid-range. Today I toned it back down to 4.5psi (about one turn) and it feels just right. Before the adjustment wastegate was actuating at around 2.5-3psi...

i think it goes by engine for a few reason, one that i think of because it applies to me is that though i have a 16t, i should still set it closer to the range for my lpt engine, also some people dont know the names of the turbos like all of us on here do (weird right) and they can easily see there engine number where as the turbo number is hard to see with the turbo in the car(though a quick search would show them), but i may be wrong about all of this idk

[850T5M]

Maybe make 2 charts or have both the engine number and turbo it comes with beside each other?
Im just curious because I'll be installing a 16T angled turbo in place of my 15g conical and wanted to know the right pressure. After looking at the chart, I still wasnt sure lol.

Did you come up with a better valve stem latching device?

The one you sent me on the prototype does not grab the valve stem very well at all, I need a 3rd hand to hold it in place, and it still leaks a bit.

Its a great tool folks, you'll be surprised how much your waste gate is outta spec.

your voice and or the video sounds really funny at about 5:20... "two 12mm bolts" haha

[Ipd]

Pops, yes I've updated the design.

PM your address and I'll send you the updated chuck end.
