Title: adjusting for more boost
Post by: zagarus on June 19, 2006, 06:25:28 pm

is there a way to adjust something either on the blow off valve, or somewhere else in order to gain a few psi of boost, im sure by pinching the wastegate you can, but i dont wanna do that. Ill be getting a boost controller next month but in the meantime can i do something else for a little extra boost?

all you really need is a valve that bleeds off some of the pressure.  or a pressure regulator valve from home depot...  is there really any kind of benefit of paying more for a fancy one?
