wastegate actuator, comparied ?

What Im wondering is about the Boost pressure

By turning in your factory actuator rod how much Boost have you hit ?

If you have a BigHead , How much boost have you hit ?

Please if possible was wondering these things on a stock Turbo ?

How much boost do you make now? Clamping the WG down will take your peak from around 17 to maybe 20-21 with a stock truck....it depends more on the truck than the turbo.

When my defueling starts I usally see 28 psi with the bighead, Im sure it really comes on after 25 psi, but it climbs fast when Im checking it and im using a digital gauge
