thats normal, that diaphram wont move until it sees the set boos level. if you want hook up a bike pump or something to it and then pump it up and it will move freely then.

Re: New to boosting! Q for you! (boosted_dc2)
yea... it is just that i was like dang... is this thing stuck or what...... im weighing in at like 256lbs.... im not little at all and i could just move it without really bearing down on it..... anyone know how much boost this thing is set to put out?... it has an adjustable arm on it??? i have not moved it though.. im looking for 8lbs or so..... maybe more in the future.... i know this is a small turbo.... maybe it is just wishfull thinking on my part......here are 2 more shitty pix.... does anyone know what kind or who makes a downpipe flange for this.....??? it is close to a 3" standard exhaust flange... very close.... i could almost drill the holes out in one and make it work..... but the center hole on the 3" flange would not seal with the gasket i have.... any ideas? thanx again
