[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 468572, member: 6317"] I'd been trying to use the wastegate adjustment to get a little more boost but obviously that's not the right way and depending on how far you go you can actually cause problems since the wastegate won't be able to open completely. The stock setup is made for 3-5psi...and I want to be closer to 7 without the wastegate being wife open. So today I built a manual boost controller...sounds fancy right? Here's what I came up with... [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/IMAG4831_zpsjc28eheb.jpg[/IMG] It's the diy version of the store bought versions. I used a 1/8" tee, tapped one end for 3/8-24 bolt threads and then picked up a ball bearing and spring. The idea is the bolt will apply pressure to the spring which will hold the ball bearing against the IN port. This will block pressure from the wastegate actuator until the boost level is able to move the ball. Simple enough...true Samurai fashion.
