The wastegate actuator arm, it will increase the boost, like the simple ball/bleed valves do. (not in the same way, but same as in boost pressure goes up) The bent arm will not allow the gate to open the poppet all the way so it will raise pressure that way. Some people put washers in the actuator can to increase spring pressure. The upside is that boost pressure goes up and it's a cheap way to get hp. Downside is boost response won't be increased. An electronic boost controller is the way to increase response and boost. The boost/bleed valves are density dependent on the air.

ok i have a question about the T3s turbo specs, such as intake diameter exhaust diam. etc....
my dads turbo which he gave me, has a 55m intake and a 60mm exhaust ports and the actual part id is T603...
i thought the standard T3 was 50mm intake 55mm exhaust...

any info would help...and how much estimating would that turbo be worth (no im not selling it)
