I think I agree with you, I spotted an add for a place that sells them, close to my workplace, will stop to see what they have there sometime.

Saw you driving along on the Highway yesterday again.

i fitted an autoguage one. and it boosts 0.8bar on my DEAD STD sx... is that right?

Maybe the prev owner upped the boost?

is that possible with no aftermarket goodies?

I believe so. My sx had it boost set at 0.8 bar when I got it.

The wastegate actuator can be adjusted by twisting the 2 rods that it is made up of. This lengthens or shorten the actuator and causes the wastegate to open at more or less boost. (someone pls correct me if I'm mistaken)

My actuator has only got a slightly modification to allow you to easily adjust it with a spanner.

ah ok. but how can you know for sure that it's running .8?
