ok i have a turbo with an internal wastegate set to around 7 psi. i was wondering how i can get that to 4 psi about without getting a new turbo. could i just put a BOV inline with it? sorry, ima boost NOOB. i do have another turbo it wont fit on my exhaust manifold, theyre 2 different sizes and the big one has bad seas so id have to do that. i have a guy that can make piping for either one, but the one with the internal wastegate is a t25 and the one without thats bigger is i think a t45 off my friends mazda mx6 that blew up at 5lbs of boost. i dont want to blow up, i just want a bit more power and i want to get there with mostly the things i have. HELP???
