Thats the question, i dont use it ever! Is there any other use for it or can i completely remove it?

Just out of curiosity...why would you want to remove it?

Its not like its hurting anything sitting there.

Just like it neat and tidy. the rod is bent so its useless...so yah or nah?

ok thats off, now can i take the rod completely off or not? it seems as though water will flow straight through the hole? do i just cut it short?

I wire tied it to the bucket mounting hole in the ride plate. Use black wire tie (they are uv resist)

Thanks i just took the whole thing out, welded some flat plate onto the outside of the nut, screw it back in with some loctite, hopefully it shouldnt leak!

let us know if you go faster with that off.......I always thought it might help speed up top

top speed, i honestly dont know, i took it out yesterday, but when my WGS stuffed up a month ago i put a manual boost controller on it, but it seems i can put the boost high for about half an hour then it over boosts and i have to turn it down 2 clicks, and then 15mins after that, itll overboost again, and another 2 clicks down. when i turn it on it goes 53mph at ab out 5400rpm even with the set boost, then ill stop it, turn it all the way down and up again to where it was and it FLYS! ?? but still i cant get over 60mph and 6100rpm?? it seems tail happy with the extra power? alot more fun than the rxt i had a go on at the same time.... i dont see why it would help top speed??
