His suggestion was to loose the weight of the wastegate, weld up the =
opening
and use a pop-off valve, then control the boost below the pop-off =
pressure
using throttle. This is what Greg Richter did, and it worked for him, so =
I
think I'll go that way. DO you have any pressing reasons why this =
wouldnt
work?

=3D=3D=3D> I sure can't think of any problem with this plan John. The =
wastegate on
the stock turbo is internal, so removing it would involve some cutting =
of
the turbo housing.  I doubt that would be worth doing.  My cable is =
already
run, so I'll go ahead and use it, though I can always just leave it =
closed
if that's what I wish.  Even with it open, I bet it will overboost, so =
I'll
be reducing the throttle to save the turbo anyway.  With my setup, I can =
try
it open, closed, or anywhere in between, so maybe in a few months I can =
tell
you exactly how it behaves.  An overboost light would sure help with the
throttle chores. =20

Thanks for the suggestion.
