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

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.

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
