Re:Waste Gate?

You can email him at rod@wildcatdiesel.com or look for his name lit up in blue on the bottom of the forums page, double click on his name and then send him a private message.<br><br> Probably the email would be the quickest way to reach him if he isn't watching the forums right now.<br><br> Also you can talk to Bill Heath at turbo-Master, he may be able to point you in the right direction as well.<br>bill@turbo-master.com

Re:Waste Gate?

Powerplant: May I ask you as to why you want to adjust the wastegate ?<br>Just changing the wastegatesetting on a stock truck would lead to overboost codes or less fueling ( when adjusted lower than intended) <br>If in combination with a box there should be recommendations from the mfg of the device.<br><br>Just my 2c<br><br>AlpineRAM

Re:Waste Gate?

Gauges man.....ya gotta get some guages...... <br>Then you can see if it's a boost problem.<br>Do the 03s have the rubber intake hose connectors?<br>If so have you checked to see if they're loose/leaking?<br><br>Just trying to help.<br><br>Ed
