Happened to stumble across this video on youtube over the weekend. Was wondering what everyones thoughts were. Looks pretty simple just not sure if there are any cons to it. Only thing that comes to mind right away is how does he plug the existing port for the wastegate?

 

 

2000Ram2500 - if your existing canister holds boost pressures, I would simply add an adjustable turnbuckle to the existing Holset actuator.

 

Along with fuel limiting to your desired unloaded EGT, this would be the easiest, most cost efficient option.

It's not leaking that I know of but I'm sure being it's the factory actuator its weakened over time with heat helping it. Not that a spring from wherever wont do the same over time I just feel like a turn buckle wont necessarily help my case because it's still the same spring inside the actuator which means it's not gonna take a whole lot more to pull it past it's new tighter position. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sold on the ease of having just a nut to tighten as opposed to having to get in there and tighten a turn buckle.

I’m willing to give this a try. Someone just let me know what i need. @2000Ram2500 Once we get this down pat someone needs to make an article. 

@Marcus2000monster we'll see how this weekend goes I might do some running around and gather up some parts.

Did anyone complete this?

My lift pump went out like a week before your post @Marcus2000monster I finally got one ordered up and it came in friday. Hopefully i'll get it installed this week before the rain/snow is supposed to come back this weekend. Then i can focus on other things and hopefully come up with a parts list and some info
