Default Is there any way to modify the N75 so that it does not close the waste gate as much as being asked

or is there ant differnet N75 on the market that will not close the waste gates as much as being asked to. I do not want to limit just the top end boost but to have it always keep the waste gates a little more open than being asked to. I want to do this because with my intercoolers and down pipes I am getting more boost than requested and it is causing problems. My MBC and TCD helped this a bit but it not perfect.

Default There is a "race" N75 available which may help you out.

This valve simply has a slower reaction time. With an MBC to keep spikes from being an issue, this may be something worth trying. IIRC, ECS stocks this item.

Default Turning your N75 screw clockwise may help you, this will open the wastegate sooner and limit boost

The general suggestion is do it 1/8 turn at a time and see what happens.

Hmm won't that do the opposite though - if I understand he wants to reduce his boost a little

When you say limit boost do you mean it caps peak boost or cuts down the requested boost like I want

Maybe turning the screw on this one to sstop it from opening to quickly would be best, thoughts?
