what is the internal wastegates pressure rating? im installing the ko4 on my 2.2 and dont wanna overboost it... so im setting it at 7-10 psi with a mbc and im just gaining info.

I believe its 7psi, but when I set up my EBC, I set it up for 5psi to be on the safe side, and could have adjusted from there.

wastegate or blow off valve? thanks mkreibs.

nevermind my last post... but how can it be so low if the ss/tc boosts to 22 psi? and why are you running such low boost?

I turned off my EBC and was running 6.5-7psi.

mkriebs

Because the wastegate solenoid on the TC doesnt let the wastegate open til a certain airload has been reached. the wastegate solenoid basically controls the wastegate, not the spring. Just because I set the EBC up for a wastegate spring setting of 5psi, doesn't mean thats what I was boosting.

so if its stock 7 psi... do i even need a mbc?

To get more boost then the stock pressure of about 7psi, you would use a MBC or EBC. You cannot however go lower then 7 psi unless you change the actuator.

ok thanks. i think everthing will work just fine then so just leave the factory bcs in and dont run a mbc? the solonoid wont be connected to anything. does that sound right?
