Wastegate questions
I can hit 30-32 psi with the mods listed in my sig. Is there a way to tell if my wastegate is disabled? I didn't think I was supposed to be able to boost that high. Is this normal, or is there something up with my wastegate?

The stock WG is set to to limit boost to around 20psi.
If you're getting 30psi, then someone has fiddled with your WG.
30psi is perfectly safe-- just not stock. When I had 75hp sticks with a stock WG, I could not exceed 20psi.
I think your "stock" boost elbow isn't stock at all

I know the boost elbow is stock, because it came off of a friends truck that was bone stock. He could not exceed about 20 psi with it. That is why I questioned the wastegate.
