the boost gauge maxes out at about 15psi. the car in stock condition are only set to make around 7ish psi. Therefore, your car is doing exactly what it should be doing.

![]() I'm also going to give you a little nomenclature lesson.
a turbo makes boost once it is spooled. The boost gauge is called a boost gauge, not a spool gauge, and therefore you are only boosting half way thru the yellow ![]() also also, it's not a boost actuator, it's a wastegate actuator. the wastegate actuator regulates the degree to which and when the wastegate opens. lol, also also also while it is nice to know that you drive a wagon, it has nothing to do with the "problem" you've asked us about ![]() ![]() |

![]() I'll take this question a little further...
Regarding my 1990 745 turbo - yeah it's a wagon too ![]() I installed a 20psi "boost guage" to provide me an actual number... the mitsu is pushin 4 - 4.5 max... aside from obvious piping leaks (none found) what may cause this output to be so low?... is the "wastegate actuator" opening to soon? or is the turbo getting worn out?...(yes, it has small amount of "shaft play") ![]() I have a fresh Garret and all the needed parts to swap in, but I would rather keep the mitsu going a little longer... ...at least long enough to install a A/F meter and MBC (ordered parts the other day), turn up the boost, and have some fun with the poor old mitsu ![]()

Basically, I'm used to a forum that is - let's say - less strict than this place. I'm all for the sharing of knowledge, and this place is FULL of useful people and information which is fantastic, but there has to be room for people to have a laugh? I'm not just talking about the OT forum - all over needs a bit of fun injected into it. A lot of people on this site need to learn to be a bit less straight-laced and stagnant. If you don't like it, don't react to it - simple as that. |

![]() The Garret has an external adjustable rod...but, from what I can tell with the Mitsu turbo , the "actuator rod" is built internally???
can the Mitsu be adjusted? if so, how? thanks for your help! |
