Default ok i got the T3 60/63 turbo... supposedly 10psi... im getting about 9

Ive checked my manifold and the gasket and i dont seem to have an exhaust leak, it spools up pretty good (fully boosted by 4000 ish in any gear) ive looked for boost leaks and dont seem to have any... could the actuator just be on the weak side? Its supposed to be a 10psi actuator but im getting about 9, 8.5-9 psi ish.... What gives guys, have any of you had probs like this?

Ok, just because a WG is rated at 10psi doesn't mean there's something wrong if you don't hit exactly 10psi. You have things to take into consideration like pressure drop in the intercooler and the fact that you're using a turbo that's almost 20 years old.

Get a boost controller and kick it up to 20 psi.
