Does anyone have a pic of their turbo with a turnbuckle on it?? I would like to disable my wastegate, but not sure exactly what i'm supposed to do... thanks in advance! ;D<br><br>Tony

 

Tony did you try a search, I know I have seen one posted.<br><br>KC

 

Hey Tony. You posted this last summer. Must be old age setting in. : ;D<br>https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...chments/tb.jpg

 

Man, I think I am getting senile.... :'( Thanks for telling me i'm an idiot! ;D

Ohhh by the way, I can't ever get anything to come up when I search... :

 

I gave you as many subtle hints as possible without humiliating you and stating that it was YOU that did this. <br><br>Old boy.<br>Go ice fishing.

 

Yeah yeah yeah.. I remember getting the pic from Aaron... that's about it...

??? Tony I'm with you when I try search I can't ever get anything to come up either.<br> Is it me or what<br> Bob

 

The search function is set to suggest the last 7 days. Maybe you've got to adjust the number of days ( lower right) to lets say 365 to get all the last year. <br>Maybe Jack could change this because most of the times I do a search it is fo really old stuff... (hint hint) <br><br>AlpineRAM

 

Ok, now you've got my interest. Are there real benefits to doing this? I'm going to assume holding it open will give max boost. And did I not read somewhere that more boost screws up the ecm somehow? Does this lower life expectancy on turbo, or related parts? How much power can a guy realize?<br><br>Fitizer. I just unhooked the vaccume line and pluged it and the opening on the turbo. With the gate closed you produce max boost. Basically is just keeps building and you can really feel it. On your model, I think if boost got to high a code would be set. Overboosting can cause problems, head gaskets for 1 thing. Closing it all the way without a boost gauge is risky. It's just not worth screwing something up. <br><br>Mine is shut right now only because my vaccume aparatus is not working.

I am currently testing an adjustable boost pressure controller called The Turbo Master for an article here. It allows you to adjust the boost from 14-51 lbs. It is currently manufactured for the following vehicles.
Dodge Cummins 94-98.5
Dodge Cummins 98.5-02
Cummins special Race
GM 6.5 92-95
GMD Duramax 01-03
FPS Powerstroke 99-02

Look for my article to be posted soon Looks like a nice piece of work and made in the good ole USA.
