What does a wastegate delete do?
ITS A PRE-SET ACTUATOR DESIGNED TO BYPASS THE EXHAUST TURBINE AND SLOW DOWN THE TURBOCHARGER KEEPING THE BOOST PRESSURE AT A CONTROLLED LEVEL. THAT RED LINE THATS ATTACHED TO THE ACTUATOR IS HOOKED TO THE PRESSURE SIDE OF THE INTAKE SYSTEM WHICH STROKES THE WASTE GATE OPEN, AND THE SPRING INSIDE THE ACTUATOR CLOSES IT.

Hey guys, my truck is a stock 99 7.3 with auto tranny, boost gauge, tranny temp gauge. I was reading online about disconnecting the red line to the WG, ******IF****** I could drive truck and watch my boost, keeping it 25ish psi, am I damaging truck or turbo? I hear truck builds boost quicker? Also read I could expect worse fuel mileage.

What happens if you disable waste gate actuator?
The stock Ford waste gate actuator starts to open at 5 PSI. That is low and just a waste of boost. Disabling the stock waste gate won’t make a noticable seat of the pants difference, it won’t build boost any quicker, it also won’t make your fuel milage go down unless your right foot helps out and you won’t overboost like out of control.
