02 Wastegate modification

My 02 has the solid wastegate tube that can't use the brass elbow that came with my Edge. I've been told it can be modified with a j hook? Does anybody know how to do this?<br>Thanks,<br>Tim

Re:02 Wastegate modification

You use a &quot;fence tension adjusted&quot; Two hooks and a barrel in the middle. Should also have lock nuts on each of the barrel. Hook both ends and tighten up the barrel, then tighten lock nuts. <br><br>Someone is sure to have a pic and better instructions!<br><br>Dave

Re:02 Wastegate modification

I would love to see a photo of this mod. My wastegate opens at 19 lbs of boost and I am figuring that I need at least 32 lbs of boost at my estimated HP. I really can't afford the $1,100 for the complete change to PDR HX-35.

Re:02 Wastegate modification

Another idea to consider is the Turbo-Master mod. It's supposed to give another 8psi or so over the elbow. Check their website to see if one is available for hard lined turbos.<br><br><br>http://www.turbo-master.com/

Re:02 Wastegate modification

The turbomaster link is sweet and fully adjustable but it only fits manual trans for 01-02 not autos

Re:02 Wastegate modification

Turbomasters will have an auto-24 very soon.<br> <br>Mcevins, don`t try 32psi on your HY35 you`ll blow hot air at that point. How did you figure out that # anyway??<br> Danny

Re:02 Wastegate modification

My understanding is that you should have 1# of boost for every 10 HP that you have. I can't remember where I read that. I appreciate you telling me that I would be blowing hot air. I'm fairly new to this but the torque and HP increases are incredibly fun. ;D ;D

Just talked to Bill @ Turbomaster. He says their 24A for 2001 + up automatics will be on sale @ their site in about 2 weeks.<br>Seems worth the wait.<br>Tim

Re:02 Wastegate modification

I have to agree on the 2 week wait on the Turbo-Master. I have several out for testing and they do indeed look very promising.<br><br> The ease of adjustment and the solid built design are all top notch american made quality!.<br><br> I will be posting an article showing the easy installation procedure and adjustment shortly.<br><br> My honest opinion is this thing is worth every penney and the solid adjustment it allows for the boost can't be beat!
