I thought the W/G started to open at 5* and was fully open at 15* when connected, and if it was disconected it would open slower ans still be open at 15* regardless because that was the way it was designed???

Wastegate STO is 5 psi, full open is not later than 8 psi. Spring pressure will generally hold to right around 24. 16 PSI is the STO pressure for the BB turbo.

I must have a serious problem cause when I unplug the red vacume line going to the waste gate there is no change and I cant hit 20 psi no matter what not even with my preditor tuner on the 85 hp setting. HUH I might have to look into this.
