Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

That kind of doesn't make sense to me. If the wastegate doesn't want to hold 14lbs of boost, it's not going to hold 14lbs regardless of the rpm right?
I thought the reason srts dropped in boost at high rpm was because the turbo couldn't keep up with the engine's breathing demands??? (Meaning, above 5K the engine wants to suck more air than the turbo can deliver creating 14lbs of backpressure.)

Damian, for my car I'd buy it off you, but for a Christmas present it needs to be grease free and wrapped in new plastic. Thanks though.

From what I understand, it starts opening at 4psi, and the ECU tries to control boost by bleeding pressure away from the wastegate. The problem with a bleed type boost control is that even at maximum boost control solenoid duty cycle (bleeding as much boost pressure away from the wastegate as possible) you are still limited by the maximum that the wastegate spring can accept.
At high RPM, the bleed system cannot keep up with a full spooled turbo pushing pressure into the boost control system, and the pressure ultimately shows up at the wastegate actuator spring as the 4 PSI of pressure needed to open the wastegate.

Understandable. I got it cause I was going to go TT on my Eclipse, well kid came along and changed that plan.

Any changes before cat are a no-no as far as smog rules go.Damn tree huggers

The resonator is after the cat I'm pretty sure. There's no muffler from the factory on this car. Just downpipe/ flexpipe, then cat, then resonator, then y pipe out to the chrome tips.
So still a no go if I replaced it?
