Waste gate maintenance

Can i remove the waste gate actuator on the engine side of the turbo to try to move my waste gate lever? it looks like it is on there with just 2 nuts and the pickup tube into the turbo....

AND

If i am just looking for better mileage and tow a 5000lb boat about 2x a week during the warmer months what edge box should i get?

You should test the actuator with some shop air and see just how far it moves or if it even moves at all. I'd recommend the Edge Juice w/Attitude because of all of the features and the adjustability. The turbo cool down timer is absolutely awesome - will save the life of your turbo and benefit you in the long run :thumbsup

ok, so i got the waste gate un stuck with some PBBlaster and a pair of vice grips! YIPPEE now i am not defueling! (i had tested the acuator and it was good, then i found the holset rebuild manual and used their suggestions of "how to losen a stuck wastegate" and Imagine this, it actually worked!!

So here is my delema, i don't want to spend more than $350 for an edge unit. so which one would get me better mpg's and not hinder towing performance?

Thanks all!

I would use the EDGE EZ. It's pretty much your only option in that price range. My friend has a 2000 equipped with one and pulls great, even through the mountains.
