Wastegate Adjustment Procedure

Proper wastegate adjustment is critical for achieving target boost pressures. Required tools: 10mm open-end wrench, Mityvac (MV8255), and a flat-head screwdriver.

1. Remove the panel between the seats to access the turbocharger.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the retaining clip holding the wastegate actuator rod to the wastegate arm. Do not lose this clip.
3. Loosen the jamb nut on the wastegate rod using a 10mm wrench. If the nut is too tight, you may need to remove the wastegate actuator from the turbo.
4. Screw the rod end clockwise to shorten the arm and raise crack pressure, or lengthen it to lower crack pressure. Verify crack pressure using a Mityvac.
5. Check the pressure three times to ensure accuracy.
6. Reattach the rod end to the wastegate arm.
7. Reinstall the clip and tighten the jamb nut.

Fuel Pump Installation

Note: Syphon all fuel out of the tank before starting. The fuel pump relay harness must be installed before powering up the dash or starting the vehicle to prevent ECU damage.

1. Remove the plastics covering the fuel tank.
2. Unplug the electrical connector at the top of the pump.
3. Unhook the fuel hose by removing the red clip, pushing down on the fitting, and lifting it off the assembly.
4. Rotate the pump assembly cap counterclockwise and remove the assembly.
5. With the pump on a workbench and drained of fuel, press the tabs to release the housing covering the tank.
6. Pull the pump out of its seat and disconnect the electrical connection.
7. Install the new EVP fuel pump into the plastic housing. Ensure it is oriented correctly so it drops into place and does not rotate.
8. Plug the electrical connection into the pump.
9. Align the tabs and reinsert the cap into the housing. Do not force it; if it does not fit with moderate pressure, recheck the alignment.
10. Reinstall the pump assembly.
11. Install the EVP Plug N Play Fuel Pump Relay Harness.
12. Connect the yellow wire with the ring terminal and the relay to a bolt securing the fuel pump protector strap to the frame. Ensure the terminal is grounded to the frame.
13. Replace the OEM fuel pump fuse with the supplied 20-amp fuse in location F5.
