adjusting wastegate actuator

[imperieumblue]

can i change the setting of my wastegate actuator? like 0.1 bar or 0.2

you can by turning the bar, but its not recommended at all. too much risk to the engine, get the boost changed by a map.

Even if you did on a standard ECU im sure it would pick it up as outside of it's tolerences for requested boost and stick you into limp mode. "Over boost!"

i turned mine about 1.5 turns and she was fine b4 the remap just make sure you got a boost gauge and dont let it get close to 12psi on a standard car (12psi is the limit b4 limp mode on the leon prob same on ibiza etc)!! but now mine is goosting to about 14 and holding so guna turn it a bit more (i had mine mapped)!!
best thing to do is turn it a little at a time (about half a turn) but DONT go over 12psi on standard motor and dont go over 17psi on a 3 bar fuel reg if ya mapped!! it will run lean you dont want that!!!!

You wish terry i told you my Ibiza spikes at 24psi!

You should really log in accordence to adjusting the actuator.

a turned mine up after a little remap from the guys as star performance now boosts at 22 psi and holds a nice 18 lovly

Query i have,

i think my actuator is weak as im loosing boost, did some logs of req vs actual boost and saw how much i was loosing, so i adjusted the actuator to get correct figures and does improve loads but noticed my CF's started to rise.... why is it my CF's rise when req boost meets actual boost? do i need my map tweeked to bring the cf'd down as the car was mapped on a weak actuator?

any suggestions?

buy a new actuator?
