Ok Over at turbod16 were having a discussion on whats the stock psi for a turbo 2nd gen eclipse and from my knowledge its 8 psi. However some say its 12 psi stock. Is this correct?(hopefully a dsm owner can cover this) Just curious question that we all want to know for sure from turbod16.com Thanks!

The internal wastegate is set from 10-12, it's not exact, there is also boost creep when you do pretty much any mods, but stock it's 10-12.

Oh great I was told to believe it was 8. 10-12 stock though? That pretty weak for a car to hit 210 horspower at 12 psi.

The T25 is a ----- turbo

i may be wrong.. but i thought the wastegate was set at 8psi.. and there was a boost solenoid that allowed the car to boost 11-12lbs once it was warmed up.. but the actual wastegate is set at 8lbs

dragon

exact same thing i was told. Its set to 8 but you can raise it to 12. This is so confusing

How does the turbo know when the car is warm? Either way, stock boost 10-12.

Wastegate setting on both 1g/2g dsms are 8psi. Reason why they open at 11-12 on DSM's is because they have a factory boost solinoid that changes it, and doesnt allow it to boost so much when the engine is cold.

I see. You are very well educated AbaZ
