Re: [diesel_mercedes] Garret T3 Wastgate / Boost adjust ? .

It sounds like 12 is about right.

repeat..... I did a quick search and found this forum, which said

"16psi is already WAY too much. 12psi is all your engine can use, anything more is just heating the intake air."

I did it, the adjustment is internal so you have to remove the cover and adjust it, button it back up wipe off the blood and take it for a test drive, see how much boost you have .

The adjustment is NOT linear, so after three (or was it four ?) times of taking it apart and re adjusting it I now have 12.5 pounds of maximum boost and am far from home in a hotel room in Desert Hot Springs having driven the bejesus out of it all day long, the hot soaking tub with air bubbles is nice to relax your tired and sore muscles .

I'll prolly take one more stab at it and if it lands between 13 ~ 15# I'll call that part a day and move on .

I took a couple pictures and will include them on wastegate part III .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Garret T3 Wastgate / Boost adjust ? .

It's done just as it says, turn the nut. I just adjusted mine a few turns, years ago, without checking the boost level.

At the time the Turbo was caked up and need of a rebuild anyway, so I just wanted a bit more boost.

When I'm done with other things, I'll attach a boost gauge and play with my wastegate valve some more.

I noticed that my wastegate hose was leaking recently, and I had more boost. Some folks put bleeders on the hose, to get more boost without opening the wastegate valve.
