Thanks for posting easy explanation of how to set up starting point and fine tune your boost ...and important at the end don't overboost or it will lean out and damage stuff . Anyone attempting to do this should read up and see what turbo they have and what stock boost psi it's set to this is a starting point you shorten the rod to add more or lengthen it to subtract to get to desired spec thanks 😊👍

Easiest explanation I've seen period .. Wright on mate

The best explanation I've seen.... Wish I had found this video about 6 months ago

Sounds like the kids were pretty hyped for more boost

I've been searching for a video simple explaining like this for a week! Thank you so much

I lol at this video. Definitely listen to this guy. You'll have all the boost

Great, clear video...thanks from Sarnia, Ontario

Your vids are coming out at the perfect time for me. Very helpful.

Shove an air nozzle into boost actuator hose and adjust air nozzle till rod moves toward pin and clip.💨 The oxygen sensor will enriched fuel due to minor boost increase leaning fuel mix. Unless SD and not likely in turbo car🤔 Good clear video.👍

Clear and concise instructions. Thanks for sharing

You make it very easy. Good man

what helps is a little bike pump and compressed air into the wastegate to extend arm this makes install and removal easy when you have alot of preload on gate

*over boost code has entered the chat*

Great video easy explained thanks man

On Many Turbos the rod going back into diaphram is not locked to the phram itself so it can spin from vibrations, i would defo be tightening up the lock nut or it can spin itself during idle vibrations

Thank you this help me to understand how it works 👍

Thank you!

Thanks for the lesson. From hamilton ontario

You should definitely slightly tighten the lock nut on the actuator rod. This neutralizes the stress load on the threads and minimizes wear with use. Last thing you need is the rod failing.

Great video! Thank you for all you do sir!

Thank you sir...

good work boss.

if i didnt get anything wrong, you ve increased the arm length of the actuator. but it reduces the regulated pressure. it will open the by-pass way sooner than before. you need to decrease and take the spring force so the spring activates later. this would have increase pressure but could damage inlet pipes and intercooler.

Good Day mate,, thanks for great info straight to the point video 👍🤝, My question is dose works on discovery 2 TD5? Cheers Matt Merry Christmas to you Mate 👋🫡

Thanks for sharing! 👍🙂

So much of what your saying is specific to your car personally and not all turbochargers and wastegates in general

I effed up... back to my garage!

If you are creating over boost due to free flowing exhaust would you get a train whistle from actuator/waste gate letting some escape?

I want to know when you start the engine, in which position the westgate goes, open or closed

Great video 👍🙏💪

Good video bro 👍🏻 thanx

Thanks. Fixed an actuator that came loose and was underboosting.

Awesome help!!!!

Hey I liked the video I have a turbo'ed Nissan Juke. Had it Dyno tuned with stock wastegate control armand stock turbo, I feel like I'm loosing power or boost so I gave the actuator a clockwise turn and never felt a bit of difference.. I ordered a new wastegate control arm which is stock at 7 PSI or LB's of pressure. I bought an upgraded turbo smart control arm and never put it on because it's a 14PSI spring inside.. I was wondering if I am tuned to 15 PSI and swop out the 7psi actuator control arm for the 14 PSI TS control arm.. Will it mess up my tune or will it just add another 7 lb's of boost to the tune or car???

Hi, i can feel there's no play in the rod from the actuator at all. But there's still a chance that the wastegate flapper is loose? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks dude, great video

Great information thanks dude

I have a 2013 CLS Mercedes-Benz it is throwing a low boost code to the passenger side Turbo where do you think I should start figuring this out it all begins after I get my timing belt tensioner done

Sounds like he lives next to a daycare,. Great vids by the way

Closed end over travel. Is how much the spring pulls on the valve ones the valve is seated

excellent video how about electronic actuator adjusting

Just to be clear you need an adjustable actuator which is aftermarket. Stock turbos dont have em. Well mine dont anyway.

Good Video, TR Community is great...

What boost controller are you using? What you think about the rjc boost controller and how many pounds of boost you running there?

Say at zero preload on the actuator and I back it off 1 turn it will decrease my psi by about 1 psi?

Thank you

Great vid, thanks

What kind of heavy duty actuator do I need for a K14-6000 turbo?

When did Dan Akroyd start making KZfaq videos??

Thanks for the video greatly appreciate it.

tight to increase the boost right?

Sir can i ask about that actuator thing when engine running how actuator work if push the rod down to open or close thanks

Are you close to Hamilton Ontario I would like to have you make my kia sportage turbo give some extra boost properly

My wastegate arm has hella play in it like I can pull it out to max with no restriction at all. Is that normal ? It's an AGP wastegate. Maybe the spring is broken?

is there an easy way to do this with the turbo still on truck?

is this all for turbos? or will just work for a saab 9-3

nice good job sir

Good job

Does this cause your vehicle to lose power while driving and causes you to switch the car off and on to regain power on acceleration?

So how to decrease the boost ? Do you think decreasing the boost will solve problem ? Turbocharger Supercharger Boost Sensor A Circuit High

awesome! thanks.

I dont have power while accelarating and feel the actuator on my car , it was loose , could move it in and out. So now I learn from the video that mine actuator is broken , is it something repairable or changeable ? Its an Chrysler Grand Voyager diesel 2,8L

Does the same setting apply to all turbos?

Good ideas

Thanks in Advance. How do I know that I have the right boost on my turbo? I just installed a brand new turbo last week. Please let me know

This is super on bmw f11,mercedes w212 and audi

Its works for Saab 2.3turbo?

I have bought An Alanko Twinturbo and got replaced in my BMW 525D xdrive 2012. I have problem with boost. How many turn should I turn on the actuator?

Does e46 320d got this? Is it safe to increase the boost by myself?

Play with your actuator without programming your fuel ratio, timing, and generally having a specific tune for that, and you'll wind up collecting rods and pistons from the street!!

I have a question. is the valve closed or open in the initial position? thank you.

How much should you increase your fuel pressure for each pound of boost you increase by turning the rod for + boost.??

If I have too much boost what I can do ? I have a génesis coupe 2.0T

But my actuator arm won't pull to the left. Only pushes into the right??

If you use a manual boost control in line with this buy yourself a mityvac vacuum hand pump and you will see what psi the actuator is opening at.

Nice video but how many kids do you have there??

My car is overshooting boost and causes the throttle to closes, can actuator cause this?

What type of fuel after actuating more boost ?

If you screw it in to max, where it cannot go anymore. How do you go about adding more boost? Hopefully you understand my question🙈🤣

How do you calibrate the boost correctly so it's back at the factory setting?

How much boost can a stock chevrolet trax 1.4 turbo take. 1 full apin is 1 boost on a factory actuator. Can i spin 2x or 2 and a half times. I would i be pushing my limits even when i spin 1 and half to 2 x .

I have a 2020 f350 6.7 diesel and the waste gate creates some clicking noises after I turn off the engine. It also give me P2565 code and check engine light on. Any idea what is the problem?

very informative. thank you

If you put this on the stock turbo how much boost can’t handle

YOU NEED MORE PRELOAD THAN THAT, SORY ABOUT THE CAPS

did you disconnect the big relay on the drivers side that controls the fan? i heard it goes bad and causes the fan to run which drains the battery pretty quick haha. if you did disconnect it can you do a quick video showing exactly which relay it is and how to safely disconnect it?

감사합니다

You must tighten down that lock nut down. otherwise that rod is able to spin. It will spin inside the diaphragm side....

More tension equals more boost?

You can tell me what you did in the video you put pressure on the turbo or you drop it?

Can you adjust the stock 3.5 ecoboost f-150 like shown here?

can I do that for my innova 2010 model ?

So coming in with rode boost is higher !!! Coming out with rod lowers boost

Thanks Dan akroid

I would guess this could be the cause of the "freak accident" at the Somerset, PA tractor pull that killed a 33 year old woman in the stands. Some guy over boosted and the organizers don't check, nor do they require a containment box. Sad.

Hi there.. Brilliant video.. May i ask u a question if u dont mind. I have an Evo 8 and when i bought it, it already had some mods done to it.. It is rapid. It pulls hard when the turbo kicks in. But the one thing i notice is if I'm in 6th gear doing let's say 80mph and i put my accelerator most of the way down i feel like im losing boost from some where and the acceleration is patchy. I can hear like boost being released from some where? It never did this when i first bought the car. Looking at some of the receipts from previous owner i see that an upgraded actuator spring was installed. Could you shine some light on what might be the issue. It doesn't happen in 1-4th gear.. For your information i have a recirc value on it and not a dump valve..

very good

I think I’m in the wrong place my rig has 36.9 lbs of boost I just blew the exhaust off yesterday have to get a few extra clamps

What vehicle is this on? What turbo is this? Year make model?

Does it apply for opel zafira 2.0tdi 2004
