What PSI is a 1996 Saab Turbo Gated at stock
I picked up a little t3 from a wrecked 96/97 2.0 Saab 900 Turbo yesterday, and I was wondering what the wastegate actuator is set at from the factory, so I could decide if I wanted to keep it on there or go external. TIA!

There are way's to modify internal waste gate's to lower the boost. You can tweek the postion of the actuator, or cut/thread/coupler the WG rod to adjust the pressure, or use a spring.

hmm.. it has a threaded rod on it right now, I imagine the longer the rod the less pressure to open the flapper thus fewer pounds
