You can also lower boost by clocking the turbo and making more "slack" between the actuator and flapper. I turned my T3 down to 5 lbs like that.

ALright one more question, would it be better to go external wastegate so I can lower my boost instead of lowering it on the internal by lengthening the arm,,,since you get trubo lag by lengthening it? anyone got an opinion

If I get a 7psi spring (0.48 BAR) boost levels will be maintained at 7psi, but how do you install it on a factory wastegate actuator, pull the thing apart and reseal it, or someone does it professionally?
