hey nick great video i know you made this a while ago but it was great instruction. As a marine mechanic i saw this and did actually found why you are not creating more than 25 psi, your map sensor has a dump load setting on it that is stock on the vehicle and can be disabled with a boost fooler. this is if you want to create more than 25 psi, to find this info i did it myself and ordered a waste gate and a fooler and created almost 35 psi. you probably know this by now but thought id throw it out there. great vid
Correct about the fooler, but also it may not have been adjusted properly for his truck. I may have been opening as far as that setting is effected, by the gate. You can shorten the rod by turning the adjusting connection. Shortening it makes your pressure build sooner, thus allowing more boost fully open.
Sorry guys for uploading so late, but I got it done whew!! Editing takes X10 longer than actual mod itself haha
Love your videos Nick! I just ordered 33psi billet wastegate. I have the edge chip on my truck . 2001 Ford F-350 7.3 diesel. I also removed my air box and put in a K&N filter. I know it’s not as good as the SB filter. I like it though. Thank you for your videos.
Who would thumbs down this video?! Great video man, well done.
My 7.3 would love a new wastegate 😍 thanks for the opportunity!

Never thought of changing the boost waist gate. Being an old aircraft mechanic think I would replace the clip with a wrap of safety wire. Interesting to know how this effects turbo lag. Paper towels, what a great idea. Nick I cover my engine with old pillows when I lay on it, much more comfortable. Your testing is always interesting to me, it's real time data.
I would assume the reason why you are only getting to 22-23 psi is due to not having a tune/boost fooler, when the computer reads a certain psi (in this case 22-23psi) it will cut fuel to a lower duty cycle to prevent overboost
2000 F250 7.Tree with 205k miles and a 2001 F450 8.Tree with 315k miles. I would be very appreciative for the waste gate. Nice Videos Nick and sweet truck you got. I enjoy your videos I get a lot of good info from them and I'll continue to watch and learn. Thank man!

2001 7.3 here. My first truck I bought and fixed up myself. Did injector cups. Injector seals. Oil cooler. UVCH. Coolant Filter. intake. etc. Would Love to win the 7.3 waste gate Nick! You know how it is at 16 years old!
Winner didn’t contact me to get WG I’ll be picking another winner in following up F350 video
May be a dumb question but is this to be used in conjunction with a boost fooler or will this alone take care of the pcm defueling at higher psi levels?
7.3 ford excursion like your videos very well made and easy to follow instructions
I love the video im new to you tube im just a old fart but i gotta say i like your attitude very well manners very thorough no arrogance and very humble guy thank you for sharing it very helpful... Us old guys love humble learnings... Keep the video's comming...
Did you try to unscrew the end of the stock W.G. and see if it would fit on the new W.G. arm?
Haha, I thought the date was 2020 sep 21 not 2019. Love the videos bra
Did you preload the wastegate if not it won’t build the right amount of boost
7.3 wastegate. Great videos!

Put me in the running for that ‘broken’ actuator please. My 7.3 wants more boost!! 😀
The new waste gate is nice
I dont have a car but im working on my e bike very hard to do because i dont have that much tools. Btw every vid u post makes my day
Thank you bro, me and kids will be working on few E bikes soon on the channel :)
I went to install the Big Head waste gate actuator and it wouldn’t adjust small enough for my stock Turbo,
I'm pretty sure you can use E-CLIPS for that actuator.
what was your max psi befere the new wastgate
7.3 wastegate, would be awesome to get since I already have my 7.3 in a million Pieces, had the Hpop and turbo pedestal blow and a fuel bowl leak all decided to happen at the same time
Winner didn’t contact me to get WG I’ll be picking another winner in following up F350 video
Great instructional video! It seems you need a tuner (Hydra or T6) and a boost fooler to get past 22psi. Cool wastegate! 🖒😉🔧🔩
It's probably de-fueling, once the computer reaches a certain psi without the boost fooler it defuels the engine to prevent overboost
How did you get it out?? I cant get the bottom bolt
Great videos Nick. Would love to have a chance at the 7.3 wastegate. Thanks
Winner didn’t contact me to get WG I’ll be picking another winner in following up F350 video
You need more preload on the actuator, about a 1/4 inch..boost it up 😁,love the video brother 👍
Use a magnet on them little clips, I did and it didn't get away from me. Nice job.
Hello Nick. I'm thinking the reason that your only seeing 22 - 23 pounds of boost is when the map sensor sees 22 pounds it defuels the engine. That's why your repeatedly seeing the 22-23 lbs. The map sensor is working. I ordered a new 1/4" mini pressure regulator (like 10 or 12 bucks) and put two 1/4" barb connectors on it and preset it to 20 lbs. Then I cut the map sensor line about half way between the map sensor and the slip on connector on the intake spider and mounted it there. So now when I mash on it. The map sensor only sees the preset 20lbs but the boost gauge will continue to climb. BUT! You really need a EGT gauge to keep an eye on those exhaust temps now. Keep it below 1300° . Also need a fuel pressure gauge. I know you put 70 & 70+ pound springs in the fuel return but if the pump is weak and supply may be low as well. Thus the fuel pressure gauge will tell you. It takes fuel to make power. Peace.
@@FixItNick That's great but it will not stop it from defueling. When the map sensor sees 23 pounds of boost it sends this information to the trucks ECM . Then the ECM defuels the motor so that it will only boost to 22 pounds. You can buy a boost fooler like this shop.fullforcediesel.com/boost-fooler but I built mine just like it for 15 bucks. Then just preset the regulator to twenty pounds and your good to go.
Ive only seen 12psi max on my 7.3 with a KC66. Not sure if this is normal but im thinking about changing the wastegate to see if I get a few more
Awesome upgrade!!..I’ll take that other waste gate...Aloha 🤙🏽

I am running the Banks Quick Spool and the Big Head. What do you think the max safe PSI is on these? I was thinking 35 at the most.
7.3 Wastegate. I would love to put one on my 2002. I don't get anywhere near 22 PSI.
I preloaded wastegate 3 turns after nutral but what a change the biigest improvement on top of everything.
Yea I was thinking to turn in maybe 1-2 tines, each turn would be about 1 psi
What are the EGT s like
Do you have a stock turbo?
Know old video but I seen the retainer clip when u showed how u molded it (@5:14)😂😂
Thanks for the Info.
It still be interesting to first put the boost fooler and see how much boost you will get. Then put the tuner and see how much more boost you will get.
Great job

One of my old trucks had a wicked wheel and a cold air intake and a ts6 tuner it spooled up to 32psi real quick
7.3 wastegate! That would be awesome with my KC turbo wheel!
Winner didn’t contact me to get WG I’ll be picking another winner in following up F350 video
Please tell me you found that pin when you watched the video back
Exhaust pressure is assisting boost pressure on the diaphragm as exhaust pressure flowing against wastegate is why the 30psi dropped to the 23psi. Im running 42psi out of my 7.3 at 650hp.
Very good video I have a 02 7.3 and would like to have a new waste gate

Sorry I know it's been a while but my question is how do to get the e clip out I've been fighting with it but can't get it off
You need to hook the loop side of the clip with your pick and carefully slide it out. I'm sure you probably already figured it out but this might help others.
Was you able to retrieve your clip after seeing it in your videos?
What you mean seeing it in the vid? Oh wIt just watched.... that one is actually my first one I made and also lost haha
@@FixItNick , look at 4:55, that clip laying by the wastegate arm. Does that look familiar to the clip you made?
Is this going to increase towing ability? or just make truck faster. I have a hell of a time getting a tractor through the mountains. I need tow power. i have a sct tuner that gives me a whopping 25 extra (hp). Doesnt help. napa 6637 air cleaner, i have 4 inch exhaust on the way. i dont know what to do next. Im not dumping a bunch of money with injectors and such.
I see things like new turbo wheels and bigg boost, etc. I need some power. All i ever see is dudes wanting to go faster
The part of your video 5:09 minites in, while you are showing the step on the pin, you can see your lost clip laying right there, on the turbo.
Would love a newish 7.3 waste gate
7.3 wastage grate. Would love to have a 33psi wasn’t gate. The old retainer clip was sitting on the turbo next to he wastage arm. You can also just a wastegate arm for more resistance to get more boost
The TS performance six position tuner is awesome would highly recommend it
Haha I saw it in the vid... but actually that was my first one I made after stock one flew away... I’m sure it fell off already on way to work lol
My co worker has a 7.3 I’d love to hook him up he’s been have trouble with his waste gate while pulling a trailer any advice
You can buy assorted size c clips at harbor freight for a few dollars and there’s one that fits perfect I had the same issue but happened to have the box of c clips laying around the shop
I would like a Newish 33psi wastegate for my 7.3, yeah buddy!!

7.3l wastegate. I have been looking at doing this for some time now
Winner didn’t contact me to get WG I’ll be picking another winner in following up F350 video
I run Riff Raff’s OCR. It Will trick the map sensor into thinking it’s not reading max boost. Therefore not defueling and allowing you to reach a little more boost then 22 or 23 psi. Even when I had a stock turbo I still got around 26 PSI. ... I hope that helps buddy 😎
Yea the Hydras are nice man. I prefer those myself. But I was given a TS 6 Position for free. Couldn’t beat it. But one day I’ll get it. But first a fuel system overhaul. Lol
FixItNick, if you look at your video at 5:12 you will see your old retainer clip behind the turbo wastegate operation lever, and you might want to get back in there and check the jam nut on the rod
I'd love an aftermarket 7.3 wastegate.

The retainer clip was a 1/4" away sitting on the turbo,....so close. Please put me in for the wastegate.

Change your tuning. I have superchips. Went from what you have to about 30. I also have the gtp38r. My boost stayed low 20’s until the tuning changed.

7.3 wastegate for my 2001!
Winner didn’t contact me to get WG I’ll be picking another winner in following up F350 video
I get 24psi stock w my 02 F350.
Late 99 stock turbo 4inch down pipe 5inch after larger air cleaner international up pipes dp tuner on 140 tune automatic trans 32 pounds with the red line pulled off...
Ps: stick a magnet back there next time you take e clip off right next to it and magnet will suck it up when it pops off! Also, try adjusting the rod length if you want a bit more psi/open later should see a bit higher psi. If you really want higher psi you would need a different housing/compressor wheel and atleast a 360* oil ring in oil housing.
@@FixItNick you don't need a tuner if you do the turbo work! A lot cheaper and much better than forcing fuel into the cylinders! I just completely rebuilt my turbo, fuel system, hpop added xover line among other things myself! If you need any advice or help feel free to shoot me a message. I absolutely love these 7.3l engines amazing feats of engineering, they last forever!!!
The reason why it never built more than 23psi is because a wastegate needs to be preloaded to work properly try shorting the rod 1 turn at a time until you get the desired boost.
I want the 7.3 waste gate I would love to have it my dad would love to have it the truck needs more boost
7.3 waste gate! Need it for my 97’ F350 7.3

@fixitnick, put the truck under a load like with a heavy trailer, and he if it makes a difference, also try to make the truck pull more air in with a tune.
I bought one the same as yours but the adjustment bar of the old one is shorter than the new one and ahu giving all the adjustment to make it as short as possible, it is still a bit long, what can I do about it?
