Wastegate boost adjustment 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Ride em cowboy on  Sat Jan 3 07:05 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 1997 855GLT and want to experiment with bumping up the turbo boost at the wastegate. Has any one experimented, with success, with this procedure?
By adjusting the wastegate on the turbo so that less internal pressure is bled-off, the turbo can be made to generate a higher boost pressure. This mean that the air being forced into the engine's intake manifold will be even denser, which can translate into much higher horsepower levels than usual.
R.E.C.

see following website for procedure:
