Looks like a 42/48 Saab unit.

Saab turbo. You can't change the wastegate spring without cutting it open, but you can use an MBC just fine.

It's not in our stock wg setting database, I would take a guess and say around 7 psi though. But maybe that's just the beer talking.

My Saab turbo's internal only was good for about 5-6 lbs. I used an MBC to make it a more respectable 11.

this is going on my toyota, it should be a good start. i can always adjust the pre-load on the wg flapper, it's kinda like a turnbuckle for adjustment
