    turn down the boost help?

    ok so i jus put a new ported evoIII 16g on last weekend but as it is, its putting out more boost then i really want wich is keeping me from beeing able to get on it yet cause when i do some times itll go to 14psi by the time i hit 4,ooo on the rpms jus wondering whats a good way to tone it down to like 10psi. now it has an adjustable actuator but ive never known anyone around me that has had that option plus dont know if its there just to boost more. If someone can help me out cause i really dont like slipping into 14+ lbs of boost when i want to get on it

    so you have an adjustable actuator arm? if so..

    shorter arm = higher boost
    longer arm = lower boost

        hey just a thought what if i took the 14b wastgate actuator and put it on the 16g thing it would work? cause i read that the 14b actuator only goes to 9.5 mabey 10 and the most. let me know i only say this cause theres not much room to extend the 16g actuator anymore and im still goin over 10 when i hit it hard

              so what do you guys think do you think it will work if i took the actuator off the 14b and put it on the evo3 16g? Im goin to try it this weekend when i paint my car figured ill do it while the car is down for the weekend? Get back at me if you have any opinoins or ideas

              also on another note, one of the guys in the shop said since i have a universal rfl bov that i should try taking out some of the spacer washers in the bov and let it try to leak out air at higher boost so i wont go so high into the 14's anyone back that opinoin up im goin to try it on my luch break.

                where is your wastegate vaccum line connected? to the compressor, or to the TB?

                    that could be part of your problem. the wastegate opens much later when its connected to the TB. If you connect it to the compressor, or as close to the compressor as possible your boost spike will be reduced by quite a bit.

                        bending the arm will require more travel...there's a thread on it at HMT...

                          but bending the arm would make it short then i would be boosting more psi wouldnt i
