He didn't say that. You can't assume this will happen. You have to do it to know for shure. Again,if you do this and find that you can still only achieve 10 lbs,you have a bad turbo. If,however, you can produce alot more boost,that would be a good thing. I hope the test produces more boost. Do the test.streetknights said:going from what lubrant said, it sounds like if i disconnect the actuator and plug that hose then i would definately only see ten pounds,
This means your actuator spring is too weak,or your turbo is bad. Do the test I described. If you sill produce only 10 lbs,your turbo is bad or your wastgate is stuck open. If you make alot more boost your actuator spring is too weak. You can either shorten the actuator rod through the adjustment,or buy a new actuator.
