How exactly do you do that? Cant you somehow alter how fast the trubo spools up too? My only complaint about the truck that that off the line (1st n 2nd) the truck is sluggish and the power doesnt really come till 3rd and overdrive.. Any suggestions

a wastegate controller simply controls what psi the wastegate will open at.

There should be a line going from your afc to the turbo, or if someone has modded it a pluged off line that leads to the wastegate. The easyest way would be to get a boost elbow, choose a vendor from here to order one from:tu:

My truck pulled like a freight train in every gear except first, but I wager thats due to such low gearing.

What exactly does a boost elbow do?

94 12valve 06-03-2010 05:50 AM

its an elbow with a small allen head screw in it to regulate boost into the wastegate

Delray2009 06-03-2010 10:14 AM

Ah. I see. Allright well thanks!

oops. Most 12v'ers are looking for cheap so I figured I'd recommend it :P yes, go directly towards one of our sponsors. Do NOT stop at go, do NOT collect a $16 boost elbow.

It regulates boost by an allen head like 94 12valve said. Screw it out to allow more boost, screw it in to regulate more boost.

Delray2009 06-03-2010 07:27 PM

Guess thats the next part on the list...

Absolutely. Lots to be gained with an elbow. Believe that!
