Blocking The Wastegate
Ok I tried searching (albiet not for long) on how to block off the HX-35 wastegate (or delay it). I'd like to hit 30+ psi a little easier and longer.

Uhh,, what?? I dont agree with these guy's! I have seen more power and better gas mileage by blocking the wastegate! I have a $1.02 plug where the boost elbow is, and got it at Lowes in the plumbing section. I originally had a different style boost elbow I bought at a shop, but this plug works much better and doesnt make my turbo bark like the elbow did.
FYI, It took like 30sec. And gave a definate increase over the elbow adapter!

I'll never see that kind of boost out of this turbo. (one day either I'll have VG or twins, after the engine is out of warranty and I have that much spare money). If it'll hit mid 30s or stay at low 30s I'll be happy with a quick fix.

So what can the factory turbo on a 610 see? And is this something the dealer coud find? I need more info on this please. My brother ran a boost elbow on a turbo volvo for years and it made a huge difference. Is it that simple to do on the CTD as well?
