Wastegate

[99 Stroker]

ok so dont make fun of me here, but i have an early 99 PSD with stock turbo, and i was just wondering if i should unplug the wastegate, and if so what to do with the line and the nipple coming off the gate. Other mods are in my sig. any help is appreciated, thanks.

if you pull the line off just plug it with a screw or something otherwise you can tighten up the actuator rod going to the turbo

put it over one of your intercooler tube clamps

I have a late 99. If you unplug the wastegate will the turbos life be shortened greatly? Also with stock injectors will it handle the increased boost?

ive been told not to get over 25-30psi on a stock turbo ir it'll go eventually, and stock injectors wont matter

Anyone know what boost it will hit with the wastegate unplugged? I'm guessing like 35lbs

so all in all the stock turbo is it a good idea to unplug the gate? i think im gonna do it

First of all...Noone here is going to make fun of you. Noone is born with this knowledge in our heads..

Mine makes about 31-32 psimax with the red line disconnected and my other mods.

Heck, try it out! Just remember, the wastegate opens at 22-24psi for a reason. If you force your stock turbo to see 30+ psi all the time, it will damage it eventually. I have had mine unplugged for sometime now 1+yr. It does get out of it's 'safe' range now and then, but I try not to hammer on it too bad all the time...
