the trick is to have a program tuned for external WG control... just like in all other turbo cars.... via a boost controller.. thats just my opinion..

Mark, would that be adding a manual boost controller or electronic?

Ahh figured that would be the only way to fine tune a setup and be able to switch off, how difficult is this, just wondering!

Wastegate springs: I assume "calibrated" means tighten the bolt (clamp the stock spring tighter). Calibration helps, but does not performs nearly as well as upgraded springs IMO.

For boost controller: Basically you need to intercept the boost signal going to each wastegate and splice in your boost controller. Have been doing this on various cars (not the Pcar) since 1989... Damn I'm old.

Calibrated in this case also means that both Wgs have to be set at the same point... so if u turn one one full turn... u have have to turn the other one exactly the same.. otherwise, one turbo will work harder then the other...
