Turbo wastegate question
Ok, I am looking at wastegates and need to know some info. Like say I buy a tial waste gate with a 9psi spring, what does that mean? It won't open till 9 psi? What if I am only running like 6psi, it won't open? Thanks, Doug

the wastegate is set at a certain PSI that when the turbo hits that PSI, it opens and doesnt let it go any higher. If you want to run 6psi, u need a 6 psi wastegate. I think you make a simple manual boost controller that will make it open at 6psi or something but im not sure.

Hey, it's not on my civic yet. But I know almost anything you want to know about it. I've been at Redline High Performance so much I can put a turbo on my self. Just let me know what you want to know.
