Message	Its easy.. will take like 20 mins of your time. I use a mity-vac hand held vacuum pump and swap the hose on it so that it produces pressure instead of a vacuum on the tube. Use some hose with a 'T' fitting.. one to an accurate aftermarket gauge, and the other two to each wastegate actuator. If for example you have a target base boost of 15psi. I would set them at like 16-17psi (because the exhaust gases/heat/pressure will be pushing against flapper door, trying to push them open). When you set them.. You just want to see the wastgate arm start to move at your target boost pressure. They will not be fully open at your target pressure! if you wanted 15psi base boost.. you would set to 16-17psi.. When you get to 16-17psi.. you will just barely see the flapper door ARM just start to move. And no problem man.. Glad to help out..

Not sure yet how I want to do my vacuum lines - PiotrC70 22:27:54 04/29/12 Is it easier to access if they are pointed down? - ZXoltan 22:53:55 04/29/12 the driver side.. yes.. - KongZTT GT28RS MD 22:56:39 04/29/12 Cool pics btw.. Looks like its going to be a clean build! - KongZTT GT28RS MD 22:20:49 04/29/12 My friend was thinking about removing that clip and doing as - PiotrC70 22:35:36 04/29/12 yes you absolutely have to sync the two wastegate actuators - KongZTT GT28RS MD 22:47:48 04/29/12 By your above comment, does this mean I wouldn't be able - PiotrC70 23:03:13 04/29/12 I mean target boost as in if you turned the boost controller - KongZTT GT28RS MD 23:23:07 04/29/12 Doesn't make sense to me... - ZXoltan 03:00:41 04/30/12 Yes, set your wastegates to the absolute minimum boost - dogpile 08:04:10 04/30/12 great info thank you! I'll check what psi they're currently - PiotrC70 08:47:37 04/30/12 Also, your actual boost will be 2-3psi less than the wg. - Woody75 (Denver) 09:39:44 04/30/12 Thanks. I was speaking as basically/generally as I could. (n/m) - dogpile 09:48:25 04/30/12 Hmmm... so if I'm running GT-28r turbos and I want 8 psi - ZXoltan 10:13:10 04/30/12 you want 9-15 lb springs (n/m) - aliaZ 05:36:33 05/01/12 I see a few incorrect statements in this thread........ - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 11:17:48 04/30/12 When running the stainless oil lines, important thing - ZXoltan 22:55:18 04/29/12 Cool, both are far from touching. (n/m) - PiotrC70 23:12:19 04/29/12 I always flip the wastegate. (n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 09:31:15 04/30/12 "Flip the wastegate"? I guess u mean rotate the actuator? - ZXoltan 09:41:14 04/30/12 I flip them 180 so they are pointing up. (n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 09:42:42 04/30/12 Do not bind the PS SS oil line - do this: - Bernie (NoVA) 17:59:20 04/30/12 Isnt that running too close to the exhaust housing/ downpipe (n/m) - ZXoltan 18:57:59 04/30/12 No - it doesn't touch and it is now heat wrapped - Bernie (NoVA) 11:57:50 05/01/12 Nice! thanks. (n/m) - ZXoltan 16:31:42 05/01/12 good progress, my tt engine is almost ready for my 'vert (n/m) - vorpalZ 10:22:45 05/01/12 Nice. Be sure to post pics on your progress.
