the wastegate rod dont move much..........I have rigged up a couple times with my air compressor and a gauge to set my wastegate where I wanted it and the rod dont move much at all

I disabled my stock wastegate with a turnbuckle and ended up trashing the turbo.................lotsa RPM will send it to orbit unless ya have a working wastegate....dont mess with it JMHO

I would just leave it alone if it were me.............he is near the map effeciency anyway...in other words if he makes much more pressure it will be alot of hot air and that will just make the EGTs that much higher

he will love the 3000,...............push him forward towards that
