D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

How much boost will my car probably run if I install my kit WITHOUT a boost controller? I was going to use a homemade style manual boost controller, but have heard many bad things about their reliability and over-boosting, boost leak, boost creep, etc. i just wanna know what psi i can expect to run without a boost controller in place. i will probably get an electronic controller eventually, but for now, none. thank you.

whatever the stock setting on ur wg is is the lowest psi u can run with it. u can only raise the amount off boost u run with a bc not lower it

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

i think its like 8-9

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

the turbo is from an eclipse gst. what is the wastegate set at then on these turbos?

EDIT: sorry, i responded right after you did. so i can expect to run around 8psi then on an eclipse t-25?...that sounds good to me. thats what i wanted to run anyway, thanks for the help.

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

I'm attempting the same setup.
If I want to run only 8-9 psi do I need a boost controller or is that only needed if I want to up the boost?

Only need a boost controller to up the boost. Boost controllers wont lower. If you want to lower boost you got to either get a new wastegate. Or modify yours.

i thought it was more like 10-11 on a stock t25

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

From what i've read its 12 on DSM's but only 8psi on non-DSM's.

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

dsm's use a solenoid to raise it ;)

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

should be 8psi.

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

t25's range some 7 some 8 i have heard of 5's but never seen one also ghettoturbo is right and he knows it. lol

and not being rude but if ya read the faq and the turbo link on the main page it tells you this.

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

I thought t25's had an adjustable wastegate?
so you could set it at wutever, like imbetween 5-11 or something

or is thatthe greddy kit?? i duno :-\

Re:D16Y7 w/ T-25
 

I'm not trying to be rude either, but I've read everything a couple of times on this site and the turbo faq does not have a very clear layout. I can't tell what information is supposed to pertain to what turbo. Just lending a little 'constructive criticism.'
