cincytt how is it that i can tighten the wastegate? are there any writeup or ...? other question is which MBC should i purchase? would i be better off with MBC or a new N75?
there is a nut on the wastegate you can tighten but thats not recommended since it will shorten the life of the turbo. Now if its loose and you just retighten it, thats fine. You just move the nut over a little bit, no wright up needed. I dont like n75's at all. I perfer a bleed type valve on the stock turbo. My fav is the one i run above, its the turboxs hpbc. its just over $100 and worth every penny since its both a ball and spring with a bleed valve together.

I apologize SouRce4 but I have another question. Is it possible to take the Pcv out and just made a coupler and recirculate all air into it?
You need a catch can to remove the regulator to slow down the air and seperate the air from the oil before it goes back into the intake.

$110-120 is about what i see them go for. As for the nut, its on the arm between the turbine and the actual wastegate. If you look down on the turbo at the wastegate, you cant miss it.
