I just got my boost gauge installed in my 931. I got one because i suspected that i was not getting the same level of boost that i was getting before the turbo rebuild. The gauge is reading about 7psi, which i believe is low. I think my wastegate may be stuck open. When the old turbo broke its shaft tons of oil was pumped everywhere? Has anyone had problems with a sticky wastegate, and what knid of boost would i be getting if my wastegate was stuck open
Thanks

Sounds about right, if you haven't modded it - 0.5bar.

Where in MI are you??? Put it in your profile!!
