Internal Wastegate actuator setting with Electronic Boost control
Ive got an HKS EVC-EZ to regulate boost. My question is this... The internal WG on the Greddy TD04 turbo comes set at 5.5PSI. What should I adjust that to if I am using an electronic boost control?
Logically if the actuator rod is thread adjusted to open at 5.5PSI boost controller or not It will open at 5.5PSI. So how do I compensate for this and let the EBC do its job?
a) adjust it up to allow for higher boost
b) adjust it lower to lower boost
c) leave it as is at 5.5PSI and the HKS EVC will do it all?
Your input is welcome.

It is my understanding that a boost controller will stop the wastegate from seeing any boost until it hits the BCs threshold

Re: Internal Wastegate actuator setting with Electronic Boost control (reXem)
that still doesnt explain what the wastegate actuator "physically" has to be set to. I know the logistics 
its the actual postion of that threaded actuator rod that I question. Thanks.
