Forge WGA Help

[Turbojuice]

I searched for a thread about this, but with limited time, so I apologize if this question has been asked before, and also please excuse its stupidity haha

I installed a forge WGA a little while back, but I am returning to factory boost since I am now putting the Protege up for sale. I need to adjust the actuator arm in order to get the boost back down. Does anyone know which way to adjust the actuator arm in order to reduce boost? I would just match it up with the stock one, but the thing is that I don't have it anymore... is there a length I can match to the original one?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the shorter the arm is the higher the boost.

Yep! Figured that out haha. But, now I lowered the boost too much and am at 0psi under WOT. Do you think throwing a MBC on would help this issue?

I doubt it

to get minimum boost as allowed by the installed spring (the spring inside determines the minimum boost so make sure you have the 5 psi spring) you want to hold the wastegate flap closed (gate closed), and then adjust the bar so that its just barely holding the door closed without too much preload. this will give you the minimum boost allowed by the internal spring. You basically want it tight enough so it doesnt jiggle at all but not so tight its preloading the door cause it has to overcome that to open (thus giving more boost)

This helped thanks! I am gonna do 2-3 more turns to see if that will tighten it enough. 12psi was too much but 0 is def not enough haha

The thing that sucks is that once you go and try it you have to wait a while for it to cool down, exhaust manifolds get hot! (learned that the hard way )
