My wastegate on my t3 seems to stuck. As i try to spin it, so I used plyers to try to spin it, nut I eneded up breaking the shaft in half. So lukally there was another one in the junkyard, but it is also stuck. are these waste gates adjustable? becasue both i can not seem to adjust with out breaking it, and what is the stock lbs of boost on a stock z31, with the stock wastegate setting? thanks

what are you spinning?? you pull the arm to see if it opens up or not.. im thinking you would need a boost controller to adjust boost higher then what its set for.. it should be set to like 7-10 pounds

I dont think they are adjustable, I didnt have any luck with mine, and fortunately I didnt try hard enough to break mine.

I have one for sale if you break anotherSteve

Dude, you don't need to adjust that. That is just for adjusting how long the rod is, it won't adjust boost or anything like that. Anyway, it will already be set at the right length to actuate the wastegate. The wastegate is set at 6psi stock.

will walboro 255 fuel pump, stock injectors, and an 8:1 fmu be safe to run 6 lbs?
