Dinner

Hey guys,

Tried to find similar questions and looked around on HTT's website but I could not locate anything. My question is, how do I go about adjusting the wastegate on my HTT 62/71/14? There is a nut tacked to the wastegate rod, but I don't want to do anything and wreck something. Or can I install my boost elbow from my hx35 and throw it on this one?

Reason being, with Smarty on 5 and TST on 6...on a WOT run I will reach about 40-42 psi and 1400 EGT's. I would like to up my boost a little to see if I can get those EGT's down a bit more.

Thanks!

You should be able to turn the rod that goes to the waste gate

Thanks busa! I'll give that a try tomorrow when I am home. I'm guessing from reading like posts that I want to shorten the Wastegate Rod?

Yes you just turn the rod and I beleave it is supposed to be roughly one psi per full turn.

Thanks for the hints guys. I didn't realize the rod was threaded at the wastegate end. I turned it a few turns and noticed a difference, didn't have time to keep turning it and running the truck though.

Thanks Again!

how did you get the rod back on?

He never took it off. All you do is turn it with a wrench on the nut.

Just like JFlory said, there is a nut welded onto the wastegate rod. All you do is turn the nut/rod so that the rod shortens itself.
