BNR Stage 3's? adjustable wastegate actuator?
I picked up a set of BNR Stage 3 turbos and I know that the wastegate actuators are adjustable but dont know exactly how to do that. Does anyone have pics or explain how I can make these adjustments to control boost or should I just leave them alone?
I would use an adjustable boost controller.
Only the precontrol rod has adjustment threads. It's the wastegate that controls the overall boost level, not the precontrol. Does Brian modify the wastegate actuator to make it adjustable too?
While I haven't personally tried it this way, i would think it's a pretty inconvenient thing to adjust. If I had to use the stock turbo solenoids, I would drill out the boost pills instead.

I'm working on this same issue. Just got my rebuild back with new BNR stage 3. It says "The stage 3 comes with an adjustable wastegate actuator. This allows you to turn up or down the boost mechanically w/o a electronic or manual boost controller. The adjustable actuator can also make the boost controllers more effective because you are working them less to turn up the boost."
If anyone has pictures/information about this I'd like to learn. Thanks.
