Adjustable Turbo Wastegate Actuator (http://www.thedieselpageforums.com/tdpforum/showthread.php?t=31044)
for the 1992-95 6.5L Turbo Diesel
Everyone can appreciate a good deal, an inexpensive upgrade or a quick fix. Making the factory 1992-93 turbo wastegate actuator adjustable is all these, plus it'll allow your 6.5 to produce more power. The modified factory GM turbocharger wastegate actuator shown here will fit all of the GM factory turbos produced from 1992 to 1995, and its adjustability can be used to produce an increase in boost pressure. Before showing you how to modify the factory actuator, let's look at what the turbocharger wastegate does and how it does it.


6.5L Diesel Diagnostic Trouble Code
DTC-36/P1217
Two of the most common trouble codes produced by the DS4 electronic fuel injection pump are a result of either a fuel solenoid response time short or long. While the troublesome electronic Fuel Solenoid Driver module usually winds up being the cause of a short response time, a problem with the mechanical fuel solenoid components inside the injection pump are the usual cause of a long response time. What we'll do here is look at those fuel solenoid components, explain how they operate and describe how to improve reliability.

So, you are wanting to increase the length of the actuator rod, correct?

Nope... Shorten the rod to increase spring tension and boost. :)
