Waste gate question
 
i want to know how you can run 4 psi with an internal waste gate set for full open at 15psi? I know there is a way to just use a throttle spring instead of a wastegate, but i am not to sure of it. has any one done anything along thins line?

You would just have to get a spring that is the right strength to open with 4 psi of boost pressing on the wastegate. Should work.
But why would you only want 4 psi?

i want to run 4psi and use a boost controller to raise it to 8psi. I want to break it in at 4psi, just to be safe.

what turbo is it? you might be able to swap the WG with another one, modding the rod will cause slow spool.

the turbo is a IHI VJ11 out of who knows what. I also thought about moding the rod and came to the same concusion. I didn't buy the small turbo just to have it spool up slow.
