Re:t25 wastegate
the stock actuator is set at 8 psi. on a dsm it is 10-12 psi because it has an electronic boost controller or somethin on it. but if u want to lower it below 8, u could legnthen the actuator arm, but it will spool slow.

^^^word. If you want lower boost you're better off buying an actuator with a lower setting to avoid massive gains in spool time.

Re:t25 wastegate
the stock T25 wastegate is set at about 12psi. you'll need to either thread the arm so that you can lengthen it, or take the actuator apart and replace the spring with a softer one.
and before poeple say that i must have gotten a messed-up actuator, i tried THREE of them, all with the same result.

Also, how in the world do you open the actuator to put a new spring in?
