Default Re:Fooling the wastegate

I'd get a different actuator, using an 11 psi partly open to reach 8 psi is dumb. The raised boost threshold (not lag) wouldn't be much fun, and you basically wouldn't be utilizing the turbo very well. Just get a different actuator that run 8 or less psi, it's easy to raise the boost, but hard to lower below without a lot of disadvantage.

Default Re:Fooling the wastegate

I am running a 12 to 1 ratio so it probably would be way to much for the stock fuel system. By the way does anyone know what the 14b stock wastegate actuator runs if I have to switch that means the longer it is going to take to get my project on the road also if you know of any good wastegate actuators let a brother know.
