Hi,The most accurate way is getting a low PSI air supply with a low PSI gauge connected,,easy to make,.....Remove the vaccum lines from waste gates and the pump up the air,,SLOWLY,,and watch when the rod arms on the gates just start to open/move..Do both the same way...Usually with a non flashed car about 11 psi is max,crack point/opening point.......Good Luck

emadelta86 has a reputation beyond repute

I used a little manual pump with a low reading gauge. Dave@EPL told me to set them to crack open at 13.5PSI and watch them while releasing the pressure from above 14psi to see little movement at 14 and nothing at 13psi.

I'm happy with the job I've done. It's been easier than I thought.

the bracket on the evo wastegate right side is not real good in fitment....i use the bracket from the original wastegate ....not easy to do, but the rod is better in line with this modification on the right side .....
