heres something odd i heard..just wanna know if its true
well i was at my shop today,and my good friend from speedworld FAIZUL told me that if you shorten on lengthen the rod on the turbo,that you can control the boost,he wasnt sure if it was shorten for lower boost or lengthen for lower boost, is that true and if so can someone tell because im having a hard time with my MBC please let me know

True.
What you're doing is adjusting preload on the spring inside the gate. The downside to it is that you end up with a flapper that doesn't open all the way or a flapper that is partially open.
If you're having issues with the stock gate opening early due to a weakened spring, even with a MBC, I would suggest either getting a 17lbs gate from FP or a new turbo.

Well, what's going on first.
Are you having boost creep issues? If so, don't mess with your wastegate rod. It's not the rod, it's the flapper and opening and messing with the rod will only serve to cause you to lose boost pressure while trying to build it.

I forgto that you had a new turbo.
How high does it creep to, 17-18psi? The best way to fight boost creep is to port out the wastegate opening and install the larger flapper.
The high velocity exhaust gas is not able to be release because of the smaller opening. This is a known issue with the E316G and it's why the larger flapper has always been suggested. The only time you want to mess with the rod is if you're getting exhaust blowby through the wastegate opening and need a stronger preload.
I'll see what else you can do, if there's anything, but for the most part folks port the wastegate.
Ooops, I forgot...you can lower your boost setting and get a 3" turboback too.
BTW, the MBC isn't made to control boost creep.

Port the opening to accommodate a 34mm flapper. Porting the o2 housing will help too.
There's a lot of porting info for the o2 and wastegate area. I'll find some a little bit later for you.
