yep, wastegate has been tried both ways, originally set up like actuator but is set up for external and no difference what so ever, even if boost controller maxed out still only gets 20.4psi, i dont go by boostgauge becuase the gizzmo records the boost pressure

pipes are banjo fittings that i had made up, i do have a feeling that i have a boost leak off turbo elbow into intercooler pipe, but its always had this and its very slight, last time i done a pressure check i wasnt losing much or it was very slow to release anyhow and that was at 2 bar

i will try taking the pipe off the wastegate to see what happens, if it goes past 1.5bar then ill know its not turbo

it should run 25 psi, i know 5 psi isnt a lot but it makes a hell of a difference on this car

maybe time for a gt35 and see how long a std engine lasts lol
