levi3011 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I thought a video would be A LOT more helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That angle does look terrible, you should be able to grind the weld off then pop the lever arm off and weld it back on, just be careful because on some flapper assemblies you can knock the tube that the flapper runs through into the housing so the flapper and hole won't line up so don't go hitting it too hard. Your bracket looks a little flimsy as well, it seems to move quite a lot when you pop the rod off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi3011 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah it's crappy aluminum I just don't have the cutting or welding capabilities to make a new bracket. But your right it is a little flimsy. Has anyone put down 350whp with an internal wastegate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Why not just weld a new arm directly on top of the old one, only angled how you need it? The old pivot will be on the far side of the actuator arm, so there shouldn't be any interference, and if you ever want to go back to stock it will be as simple as grinding a few welds. A little ghetto, but why risk damaging something that's difficult to replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winstonusmc Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My stock turbo still builds boost with the waste gate arm unhooked. You also want 90 degrees on that arm because the tighter the angle, the more force it takes to open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi3011 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think I might put a boost controller on it and see if it regulates 10psi. If not ill reposition the arm and if it still doesn't work ill port the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphur280 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have the same turbo (not yet installed) I'll see if I have the same issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzedturbo Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Im also running the same on my zxt but with a bored stock turbine. Up to around 14 psi it does not do it but 15-16 it will run over 2 psi around peak torque then fall back to its boost controller setting. Im using a homemade ball and spring type. Just tune for the extra boost and enjoy the surge of torque. Thats what i did. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
