If you actually have the wg actuator in question, there is an easy way to find out.

Get a cheap pressure regulator w/ gauge from harbor freight/sears/local hardware store. It will be 0-160 or 0-200 psi, which is way to damn much for this purpose. Goto a pool store or something similar and get a 0-30 psi or 0-60 psi gauge (anything with single increments). remove the existing gauge from the regulator and connect the new one. Now connect a couple of ¼" brass barbs to the regulator and connect it to the wg actuator with some vacuum line/rubber hose. Connect the other side to an air source and turn the regulator until the wastegate opens. It's alot more accurate than what someone on a website might or might not know for sure. That's the way I do it anyway.
