1985 300DT

I cleaned and adjusted all that has been suggested on all previous post and my boost was 10lbs, and I wanted to increase it some. I have the KKK turbo on my 85 300TD wagon. It is supose to be the easyest to reset. Take off air cleaner & pan, loosen lock nut with 10mm socket, insert allen wrench through socket hold socket, turn allen wrench clock wise SOME & put all back together. Made a run WITH BOOST GAUGE and it was only 11 lbs. didn't turn allen enough......... Took about 1 hour + scratched arms ect...

Bought manual waste boost controller available on e-bay $15 - $50. Took about 20 minutes to install, tested car was 10lbs. Stopped on side of road dialed in more boost 1 minute, 12 lbs.... another stop 1 minute more and its 14 right where I wanted.

Still a little slow off the line.. adjusted the ALDA 1.5 turns CCW 5 minutes work... and boy off the line I thought it might spin the tires.... well maybe. But what a difference it is like a gas car now. Off the line good and the boost comes in sooner.

POINT OF MY POST: Get a manual boost control *** it's much easer and faster to adjust than the waste gate BUT DON"T forget the BOOST GAUGE A MUST. I hooked mine into a plugged port on pass side, at rear of intake manifold.
Thanks to all that have gone before with their help. Listen to them.
