Saab guys wastegate question
Saturday, December 03, 2011 6:12 PM
Ok i just now went out to work on my tune. I was able to hit 4-5 psi. Now i have my wastegate connected to the nipple on the compressor. I do not know if the wastegate rod was modified yet. Anyone care to take a photo of the rod if your up to like 10 psi that's what i want to hit. Thanks guys.

There's a pic of my turbo on my Facebook, if you want to go look. It isn't very clear and might not even help, not real sure. I'm not home to get any pics of the car.
I was running 12psi this summer, and seemed like the wastegate would open 8-10psi

Do do you extend the rod or shorten it I can't remember

extending the rod makes the wastegate open later to build more boost.

If you extend the rod it SHOULD build more boost. However mine maxed out at 6-7psi max! I'm running 12psi on a hallman boost controller
