I'm telling you that 7 psi for full open wastegate actuator or the wastegate door. Again 7 psi at start to open and 10 psi AT FULL OPEN ON THE WASTE GATE DOOR. THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH THE OVER BOOST. I do this stuff ever day for a living ...... and no you don't use a air regulater to check the waste gate opening pressure !
Ok, I would have thought surely using a hand pump or a mini regulator with a suitable range gauge is no different as long as your getting a pressure reading just as the waste gate starts to crack?
As for being fully open at 10psi that will not happen with my actuator as the spring is stronger to to ensure boost is held, hense the reason why my car mapped the way it is.
Actuator rod length/preload needs setting correctly, do not use this to change wastegate opening pressure as Your just coil binding and reducing the wastegate opening amount
You can then change the spring rating in the actuator to change the opening pressure from 7psi to 14psi etc
Everything you say is completely true and that is how mine is set with the stronger spring in the actuator and preloaded just enough as to not take away from stroke length. Thank you
