ive seen headgaskets go at 30psi, i also know a guy on this very site that was running 60psi of boost with no studs and no o-rings for years( i know because im currently running his turbo), also "do you even know how to make and install a drive pressure gauge", the question is this do you?

Something that slipped my attention earlier, If your only getting 27 psi out of a hx35 with your fueling, You have problems that are not turbo related. Like maybe your wastegate is not all the way closed or you have a big damn leak somewhere.
So your saying I wasted my money on my 62mm turbo because I'm only pulling 40 psi out of it, which I could do with my hx35, and are therefore not making anymore power?

Cooler boost yes more boost no if all he did was change the compresser wheel have you bothered to check your boost guage I went from an autometer to a diprocal and they read different you may have a bad guage or like was said before a big damn leak

He should have more air flow. It's not like he changed the exhaust side here folks, just the compressor side. He could have lost boost, but every time I have seen one of these put on they increase in boost and power. EGT's go down and the whole deal. I think he had a problem before. I mean come on, 27psi on an HX35 isn't crap.

Yes, you should be able to move it without a fight. If it is binding or hard to move it could be starting to get dirty and or rusty, or even be bent some how.

I FOUND A LEAK THAT I MADE WHEN I PUT THE TURBO ON .I FIXED THAT LEAK.YESTERDAY YOU COULD HOOK A AIR HOSE UP TP MY TESTER AND LEAVE IT WITH NO PROB.SINCE I FIXED THE LEAK I HOOKED IT UP AND IT BLEW THE TESTER OUT OF THE HOSE BEFORE I COUD UN-HOOK IT.I WENT UP THE ROAD AND STILL 25PSI.IT IS A MORE SOLID 25 IF THAT MAKES SINCE,BUT STILL 25.COULD IT STILL BE THE WASTE-GATE?YOU ARE NOT TESTING THE WASTE GATE WHEN YOU FORCE AIR IN ARE YOU?THIS IS PISSING ME OFF!

if the wastegate is plugged it shouldn't matter if its working or not you should still be getting more boost than that. where was the leak? did you check all 4 air to air boots? lower one on the intake side was bad on mine i guess they are kind of famous for going out. im going to replace the other 3 too just cause they are getting old... its cheap and doesn't hurt
