Any of the turbo R1's know which way to turn the wastegate shaft to increase boost? The instructions that come with the kit are very confusing. BHartley, MartinC, Swedie, AgentDust, anyone please feel free....

Screw it in and make it shorter. That will increase your boost .. Are you interested in that swingarm?

I really am, but extremely short on cash right now. Don't wait on me Bhart, I am sorry. Thanks for the reply on the boost. Also I can't believe that "agent dust" gentleman is running 1 bar of boost, just a matter of time till boom!:machinegu

While I have your attention, does anyone know how much psi/bar a person would be pushing once turning the wastegate rod all the way in(max boost WITHOUT unplugging the wastegate hose)? DSSX my turbo buddy here in KC with an 01 R1 turbo said it would be the same as simply unplugging the wastegate hose, which would be close to 13 psi. Too much for stock internals to run all the time. Thanks in advance for any replys! Kelly

About 8.5 to 9 psi

Any turbo R1's running an elect shifter? I have heard from several persons that adjusting the "kill timing" on a turbo bike is difficult. Any experience with this?
