And i just want to get it cuz it's gonna be annoying to sit in the car sometimes when u have to go somewhere.

The wastegate i'm using is a standard turbonetics internal wg. set at 8psi currently.

Ok, so i'm gonna look at greddy/blitz gauges. The only question though is how accurate are they? Like what might he deviation be? .1psi? .05psi?

and also, blitz and greddy gauges come with kg/cm^2 readings. is the conversion something like 1psi = .065kg/cm^2? And what about hks gauges?

edit: nm the psi to kg/cm^2 question. It's 1/14.7 DOH!</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
I'm not sure how accurate they are...I don't have one &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I bet they are way more precise than my Autometer, though. &nbsp;I'd just pick the one that you like the looks of, and buy that...I'm sure they are all as good as they cost. &nbsp;Heheh.

Something to look in to: &nbsp;is the HKS aftermarket wastegate actuator actually adjustable? &nbsp;Or is the threaded rod just something that allows them to use the same actuator for many turbos....Hmmmmm. &nbsp;Not sure. &nbsp;Otherwise, you're gonna need to find a new spring for that actuator you have.

Jed: &nbsp;I wouldn't consider myself king of anything...except maybe Google. &nbsp;hehe. &nbsp;I just looked up that chit and ran some numbers. &nbsp;Kreator knows some good ish too!

You'll probably have as much luck as anyone getting HKS to release compressor maps for that GT2540. &nbsp;When are you putting that in your car?

I'm in the middle of popping in new turbo gaskets...what a bitch of a job.
