Default Stock Turbo question 14B and Waste gate?

I have the turbo off what I believe to be a 1993 Eclipse GSX, I just wanted to clarify, is this what is known as a '14B turbo' and do all DSM turbos use the same exhaust flange?

Also, what is the stock wastegate set to? and how do I change it without adding an external one?

So seriously, no one knows how to change the PSI setting on the waste gate of these things or what the stock setting is?

"the goods" is a rusty *** wastegate.
anyway i'll answer you since the ones before me didn't.

look in the stickies.
the stock psi is 8
what exhaust flange? the manifold flange or the down pipe flange? i think they are the both the same on all dsm turbos.
search for
mbc
carb spring
those will help you adjust the wastegate setting.

I know the wastegate is rusty, I'll probably just end up replacing it anyways. Carb spring is a ghetto way to adjust boost I already read that article, I was looking for a more permanent solution, I'll search for MBC now though.

Thanks for the stock PSI #, Thats the PSI I want anyways for my B18.

I am a noob, but i believe this turbo will suck ***** on a b18. Unless you just don't like to rev your engine up. Go bigger. I sure will for my z6.

Chief... B18B's don't like to rev up, they redline at 7K RPM, and peak power at 6600RPM or so, which is right in the 14B's powerband *Hence DSM's redline at 7K, and hit full boost around 3500RPM unless I'm mistaken*, I'm only aiming to break 200WHP, and then 250 with 10-12PSI of boost and a good tune.

Alright guys, I got most my setup together, now my question is very simple, and I'm sure its been answered, but I'd still like some input,

How do I by-pass the wastegate on my 14B turbo, and what kind of wastegate and BOV should I buy?

*Pics of everything except my intercooler*
