Boost Problem

[Peatry85]

Hello,
1. I need to know what stock boost psi is for our dsm's (i have a 90 talon fwd)

2. My boost problem, when i first start up the car and go on the stock gauge the best i can tell its hitting about is 11 psi but after a few minutes it seems that it takes forever for the turbo to build boost and i rarely hit 7 psi. I have heard that the actuators generally go bad but i dont wanna just replace random stuff until it works.

Thanks for the input and sorry if this problem has been discussed before.

1) Stock psi is 9-11 psi
2)The stock gauge is crap, get an aftermarket one to get the right reading
3)Could be the wasgate acutator, maybe it got bent or something? Mine got bent and it acted funny, put a new one on and all good.

-You might want to do a vacuum leak test be pressurizing the intake system, instruction I believe is at the tech section, also make sure the waste gate actualator is in good shape, it's the tin can looking thing to the left of the turbo, it has a rod protrude to hook on to the arm of the waste gate on the turbo.

Yeah i know what/where the wastegate is, now if anyone has one to sell, that'd be great.
