It willl not run open unless the actuator is disconnected from the wastegate. So what ever the spring tension is set at is the factory boost setting.

Re: t25?
well... this has gone bizzurk. i read on homemadeturbo.com about putting a mbc on the vacuum line of the wastegate (internal on the t25). i was just wondering if it would lower the boost, but being that im taking skatermikes comment of 7 psi i wont need to lower it. once again thanks for the help, i know shit about turbos!
