Default Smaller internal wastegate??

I just baught a T3 with a .42/.48 which i'm assumeing came off of a saab or volvo. And i'm going to run an internal wastegate at 7psi. I think the actuator that came with the turbo is set at 12 psi...and I heard that if I try to adjust the boost by threading the rod on the actuator i'll get bad turbo lag. So I need to buy a smaller actuator. Other than ebay, is there other places I can buy a low boost internal wastegate that will fit on the T3??

Thanks

I'd have thought it would be more likely to be set at 8psi, check it with an airline or a foot pump. If you need a new one go to a breakers yard and get one, saab do a lot of low pressure ones

A brand new internal wastegate would probably be 75 bucks

try ebay, hit the junkyards or any local turbo rebuild shops.. because brand new they are going to be expensive.
