JetMech Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krn Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 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 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeedyRom Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 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.

Mesoam Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 might be worth mentioning how hot the heat shield and turbine housing get, just to CYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Calm Chive On Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esundell90 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 a good how to vid! IPD for the win, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
850T5M Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 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!

crazykn Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 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 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! 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
