Default T25 PSi question?
I bought a t25 in almost new condition and the wastegate actuator even looks brand new. I was told that t25 is set at 6psi, but is that for all t25's? The 1st t25 I had was set at 6psi but the guy I bought the new one from said it was pushing 10psi on his 99 eclipse.
Thanks

The TD05H (Pretty much a T25 equiv) that I got from a 92 Eagle Talon TSi, was running 10 psi at the time of me ripping it off.

Every one I have ever had, was always 8psi.

Jeff, is that having the boost gauge right off the turbo or the intake manifold?

wouldn't it make more sense haveing the boost guage of the intake manifold? cause then u'd see the boost that is actually getting to your engine.

I would think so.. Since pumping through your pipes, and your IC you're going to lose a little boost..

Now, here's my question. I haven't hooked up my boost gauge yet, and like all little boys, I had to open my toys as soon as I got them home.. I lost the instructions.

Basiaclly, there are the wires for the lighting, yada yada..

As for the the boost line itself, do I have to bore a hole in my intake manifold to plant the connector in? (It's and Autometer ultra-lite mechanic boost gauge)

If you read the boost right off the turbo it could be anywhere from 2 to 5 psi higher than from the manifold. Also the wastegate actuator opens the flapper at exactly 8 psi. Jeff and I have fucked around with it on my car and his.

All you have to do is to "T" into an existing vacuum line from your intake manifold. Possibly your FPR line?

My T25 is also set at 10 psi on the dot. Wish it was lower. I have extended the actuator rod, but it sacrifices spool time.
