    Which way do I turn it

    Guys

    Need to turn the boost down a little on my TD5 Defender. So I dont have to stuff around can anyone remember which way you rotate the adjuster?

    Does rotating it away from you or towards you bring the boost down (referring to the knurled adjuster on the wastegate actuator, by away I mean rotating with reference to the top of the fitting).

    Regards Daz

    Daz....

    Standing on passengers side turning the top away from you shortends the rod, reducing boost...

    Small turns only... eg.. 1/2 turn increments...

    Whats the reason for reducing the boost? Whats it at right now?
    Are you having issues?

    Cheers

    mike, whats the limit of boost that the ecu cuts into limp mode?

    with the boost gauge in the average is 15psi, 16psi at the most.

    Most will comfortably run to 18/19psi

    At worst you'll get a fuel cut at max boost so wind it back 1/2 turn if it does.
