So running high boost is living in the past now, well let's see how my new old style TO4Z goes with 25+psi rammed down its guts, I think I'm going to enjoy living in the past.

On topic, my old stock turbo ran at 14lb for 12months, when it was pulled off (pulled off he he) it was fine, just luck or regular servicing ? Maybe a bit of both, I was expecting it to blow so I upgraded to a China spec, it was good for a while but hit its limit of around 300, now I'm getting a T series which should keep me happy once some lbs has been thrown at it.

Oh snap.

I know boost needs to go down.. Not my question..

I'm curious as to why considering Other people have had no dramas at 10 without a tune..

An curious to why after putting an exhaust on would it have effected my boost?

PHYSICS, letting your exhaust flow will reduce backpressure thus letting your turbo spool more freely.

More boost=you need a smaller gap on your plugs, if its coughing at high rpm try reducing the gap to .9 and see if that helps, maybe you need more fuel ?, take it to a tuner and check it out, its the only safe way.

Yeh I know It has

To be tuned..

I was just confused because I thought from factory there were only a 5 psi actuator..

stock ecu?could be other issues.. worn coilpacks - plugs need replacing / re gapping - like mlr said the exhaust is why its boosting a little higher..

How does the exhaust affect the actuator tho? That's what I'm trying to figure out.. Plugs have been gapped. Changing coils an ebc next week then I will be sending it in for a chip I'm sure this will solve the problem
