what i'm callin a boost controller is basically an adjustable ball valve that you put in the waste gate signal hose to lower or raise the signal to the waste gate actuator.i dont know if it's pressure or vacuum that actuates it but the controller raises or lowers it.

Generally it's called a boost Elbow FYI. It is pressure that controls the wastegate not vacuum. Diesels don't have a throttle plate so they don't make vacuum.

do they not have a vacuum pump?not sure what it's for.

kazairl 03-24-2009 03:47 PM

yes they have a vacuum pump but it is for running things like A/C controls and 4wd engagement. It doesn't have much to do with the engine itself.

cool i wasn't really sure.so when i disconnect the waste gate the only thing i gotta plug is the turbo side not the waste gate?
