Modifying The Standard Wastegate

[ovabooster]

I have a hks gt2835 pro s..Before i install it on my car i want to know if there's any way to strengthen the actulator? I heard these turbos start to drop off boost around 16psi...But i want to run 20-22psi which i heard is where they make their peak power?

y dont u get the actuator valve (dont know wat its called but its in there lol) welded shut and go external gate and then you wont have the dramas

yeh i was considering that option...heard it worked for sum and not for others. Any1 here had/heard of good benifits? I also want to retain the standard exhaust manifold, hks dump and front etc....Seen external wastegates been weilded onto the comp housing which may be the onli way to go...But would there be sufficent room to allow this? Screamer pipes sound so cool!

An EBC will fix the boost tapering off

It's not the actuator causing the boost to drop off. It's the fact that the turbo simply runs out of puff (in layman's terms). If your turbo can still push more, an ebc will solve it.
