Group,

                 Can anyone tell me what PSI the standard RX7 waste gate actuator gave?  Only need 5 -6 psi and once again why chuck out a unit if it will do the job?? 

Update on noise,  seems just a turbo will not quieten the beast enough for my liking (an old age thing ?)   Have to add another 7 Kg muffler which will need repacking as it blasts out the packing.  Going with AES which is what Chris Mc Donald  used on its own to good effect.  By the way FYI Chris is in Intensive care up north QLD having contacted some disease which has paralysed him totally.  Apparently recoverable in 12 months --- that is a long time in intensive care.  He can now open his eyes, smile slightly and keep his tongue in his mouth unaided!!!  Met him in Caloundra just a few weeks before he ended up in hospital last Feb.  I do not  have to point out the grief this is causing his family. 

                So the wastegate actuator --- any info?

Neil.
