Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Waste-gate adjustment

[DWest]

Since adding the DD2's my boost under full load starts to push the 40lb level. The stock turbo is being pushed to far but the waste-gate turnbuckle doesn't allow for any adjustment, and the stock level of 20lbs just don't cut it. Being an auto I can't use the boost elbow, what are my options? Would the 22 in the actuator line with a small hole in it bring it down to the low 30's? DW

A PDR35 with a 14cm housing would be your best bet.

Yes, more than likely you will be able to find the right size hole to get the boost down, but it will likely take a few tries to get right.
