Default Learned a way to adjust psi

Learned from a magazine that you can adjust psi on the t25 to lower it, not by lengthening the arm on the wastegate actuator but by bending the actuator in from the plate that attaches to the compressor. They said bend it .25" in and it will hold at 5-6psi. Maybe someone else thought of that before but this is the first time i heard of it.

I am guessing this mod will also cause lag because it gives the same result as making the arm longer

I believe shortyz has a page on his site showing how to setup an adjustable internal wastegate. basically you cut the arm in half, and put a threaded connector on it that way you can lengthen/shorten it with ease.

but yeah I think any adjustment you do causes lag, lengthening, bending, whatever

you can go WOT just to see how high it will boost. You won't blow your motor INSTANTLY. It'll take a few seconds... Just do it in 3rd gear real quick and then let off...
