Default Some boost questions

Hi, Folks

I have some questions about the boost settings on my 2wd saph!

It's fitted with a t3, 803's, rs 500 int, 3"scorpion.

What pressure can hold a t3 turbo?
Mine is peaking very short 25 psi and holds 15 psi.

Why does the boost drops so much? can that be the amal valve?

I have shortly fitted a -34 actuator and then it holds 20 psi, but would that be healty for the t3 turbo?

Cheersss

Should be fine mate. Boost dropping so much was probably down to a tired actuator, thats why it's not as bad now

you need a good -31, a -34 too much, should never really need to use one unless you need high boost i use a -31 with 27psi on a T34,

my T3 peaks 25psi, hold 21-22psi - and this is not the limit. I use -31 and boost controller.
