wastegate adjustment
im always toyin under the hood of my truck and the other night i slipped and snapped off my boost elbow
and i had to put the stock fitting back in. 17 psi isn't very efficient for keepin this pig cool, so right now i have the line plugged, but im also not a big fan of 50 psi, high drive pressures and a pegged egt gauge... the old boost elbow helped, but it wasn't adjustable n i couldn't get over like 25 psi
i'd like to adjust the wastegate itself to open at 35, but im not sure which way to go. do i wanna make the rod longer or shorter? i'd like to fix this the right way n not with a "presidential solution"

I got an adjustable from ebay, for about 20 bucks including shipping. But as it turned out I didn't do enough research for a '94. Seems I can't use it without taping the turbo hosing...
Arrived in about 4 days....

The elbow goes in the compressor housing that line is what controls the wasetgate. The line to the afc you want at full boost (no elbow).
I couldn't use the elbow on mine since it senses pressure for the gate and the afc at the same port on the afc.
