Billet Wastegate Upgrade Can-Am Maverick X3 by Agency Power

SKU: AP-UNI-152 The wastegate on the Can-Am X3 is an integral part of the turbo system and ECU tuning. A wastegate is designed to stay closed allowing the turbocharger to make boost pressure under throttle. What keeps the turbo from making infinite amount of boost pressure is the wastegate spring. The spring in the wastegate determines when the wastegate will open before the factory boost solenoid takes over. In the ECU program, boost is set to a value that may exceed the wastegate spring. For example, the stock boost pressure of a Can-Am X3 is just under 1 Bar (14.7psi). The wastegate has a crack pressure of around 6psi. So the ECU is controlling the boost solenoid to keep the wastegate shut until it reaches its set pressure than allows it to open. When running higher boost pressures than stock, it is very common to upgrade the wastegate on a turbocharger to improve the boost response and prevent any potential wastegate leaking. On the Can-Am X3, it has become common practice for
