i wouldn't touch it mate. actuators are set by factory to a specific pressure, they will always open close at the same boost level. if you want to adjust the boost, you need to bleed the air thats going to the actuator. by doing this you're essentially tricking it to hold the wastegate closed for longer, therefore higher boost level. cheap ebay bleed valve is 30bux and will do the job.

in my opinion the adjustment on the rod is simly to set it up initially so at nil pressure the wastegate is completely closed.

that just my understanding so take it as you may. :)

ideally you'd set it up so that it opens just far enough to hold your desired boost, that way it'll open later and bring boost on earlier. winding it in will increase the pre tension and raise boost a little bit but not much. always be careful and keep a close eye on boost.

your best bet for boost control would be a turbotech mbc

OK?

I have the turbo tech boost controller and have tryed to adj it but it only goes to 7psi (will creep to 10 psi) but thats it.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
