stock waste gate opens at 19.6 psi, you can use a boost elbow or just crimp the line to whe waste gate, this will allow you to get 25-30 psi

Hey man Industrial Injection sales the boost elbow pretty cheap. Got one on my brothers '98 12v. about 30-33lbs is where i'd set it. I pushed 38lbs outta my stock hx35 for about 6 months then it siezed up completely. Lol. Just some friendly info for ya.
