wastegate actuator 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be jason keely on  Thu Apr 12 12:44 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello all,

its my first time on the site its nice to find other people who have interets in the 850 .

Anyway regarding the wastegate,i installed a blitz turbo boost gauge which i believe to be one of the most accurate on the market,i then changed the settings on the wastegate by turning the wastegate bar 4 and half turns ,original boost was 0.66 of a bar,when i changed the wastegate i was getting 0.85 of a bar.

i found in higher revs 4,500 the car has much more torque even pulling away from start the car is definetly faster,my car has been running at this boost for nearly 3 months with no ill effects,except for less mpg ,i hope this will help some of you enthusiasists out there.

regards

jason keely
