Re:spring wastegate

I actually had that same idea. I think I'll try it on my T3 sometime this weekend.

Re:spring wastegate

you said your T25 was set at 12 psi stock, i think its more like 8 psi dude, reason DSM's run 12 psi is because they have a electronic boost controller -like device that ups the boost and lowers it depending on the temp. of the engine.

Re:spring wastegate

i'm pretty sure it is 12 psi because my wastegate doesn't even budge until between 12-14psi. maybe mine is differant or something.

Re:spring wastegate

hes right the electronic solenoid on the dsm's is what raises the boost on them..
there only really about 8-9psi...

have any of you guys tried lengthening the actuator rod. cuttin it in half then putting a thread to actually extend it a bit will give u less quick spool but at the same time it will let you run less boost.

jeff has the link, hes sent it to me once but i can't find it.
