Ok, I just got my dual nozzle alky kit from SMC... and I am running tuner mode for my wastegate. Had it set to 15 PSI...SO I installed alky. And it works great. Then I thought...hmm time to turn up the boost. So I installed a Parker bleeder valve using the stock Y fitting, and routed it just liek stock except the bleeder valve takes place of the stock WG silonoid. Well, I open it up a little...no difference....open it up some more...no difference....I can turn it 5 rotations and I went to 4 full rotations...no difference...15 PSI every time. I didn't want to chance doing it a 5th time... Whats the deal? I'm not running to rish 02s are in the 820-830s range... What gives?
Cannot turn up BOOST!!!

Problem solved!!!
Well, the bleeder valve works, I turned it 4.5 times and the boost shot up to 20 PSI faster than I coudl say holy SHIZ! Which is what I said when the alky hti and the boost went up! The Parker valve works, I just have to turn the valve open enough so it will affect the wastagte... It will turn 5 times...4.5 is 20 PSI boost, so I imagine the next little bit left will be easy to adjust, prolly going to be very sensitive... Thanks guys! I appreciate the help!

Re: Problem solved!!!
Yes they are! Very sensitive and not repeatable. Hope your alky system is reliable

Just run the vacuum line straight from the compressor housing to the actuator port. Then adjust your boost with the wastegate rod. Shorten it until you have the boost you want.
There are lots of variations using bleeders beyond this but this is the simpliest and most reliable manner.

Re: Not Repeatable...
BstC (boost command) from Ramchargers if a very reliable electronic boost controller that splices right into the factory wiring and replaces the PCM's control signals. Very reliable, no burned fingers from changing the rod length, and not very expensive at all.

Yeah, I took it out today and I had only 19 PSI...Hmmm...there HAS to be an easier way to control boost and make it reliable. I don't want to shell out the cash for an expensive boost controller, but what else can I do?
