.42/.48 Air Research T3 from a SAAB. I was wondering if anyone knew what the standard boost levels are set at with teh internal wastegate. I don't want to slap it on and it boost like 12lbs and my motor say "PEACE OUT"...lol..So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot

 

Come on people...i've been searching for a few hours now..LOL

 

i think those are the ones with the adjustable wastegate arm..i believe there set at 7-8 psi stock..

Yes it has a threaded arm, so should i just screw it back in a bit to drop teh boost levels? Say to around 6psi or so?

 

You're not just gonna take off the internal wastegate bracket and run an external one?

Yeah, you could adjust the screw but on my Saab T3 it's not marked, so you're just guessing at psi setting.

No im not. This is just going on my stock y7 for fun. Well until my other motor is done and i can get a real turbo...Thanks alot

 

yeh what he said..your going to be guessing psi settings cause u dont know where exactly to set it at..best way is to set at a piont...get a boost gauge and see what psi it hits

I mean yeah that's obvious. But im afraid of over boosting it...But thanks for the help...

 

It's 7 psi, you shouldn't have a problem. Are you getting it chipped/tuned or running fmu?

 

Those are fun turbos. They can't take 20 psi for very long though, the used ones anyway.

 

No, but they do spool super quick.

Im going to run a FMU until my other motor is done. I know its not the smartest thing to do and i've read 1000 times. But im not looking to make the car uber fast just enough to get out of its own way..LOL...

Than once my other Y7 is done I'm going either Crome or Hondata.

Thanks guys for everything. Keep your eyes open as i will be posting pics soon...
