EQUALS What about $2000 for a full turbo setup?
+ turbo = ~$2700

So I guess using a ADC chip would be the easiest way to tune up every. I'd just have to take the car out there.
Are ext/int wastegates that sold and preset to handle a certain boost, say 8psi, can this pressure still be adjusted up and down to see what will happen, or would I be stuck at 8psi with no room to play with, just asking.

For either type of WG you need a boost controller to change the boost from the preset amount. Manual boost controlers are pretty cheap and there are several out there that work quite well. Electronic boost controllers have a greater control over when and how, and how much boost you get, and are usually more accurate when it comes to measuring boost. Quite possibly the best boost controller ever...you know I had to have it.

All wastegates come with a set pressure spring. i.e. you can set it so that it's 5,6,7,8,....etc. psi - that will be your lowest setting. then with a boost controller you can increase (only - not decrease) the boost. If you had an 8psi spring and found you need a lower base boost level you could take the wastegate apart and swap a less stiff spring for a lower base boost.
Ohsigmachi - you cannot adjust below the base setting of a wastegate's spring - that would defy the laws of physics.

Did I say you could? yes, theoreticaly you want your spring to be pretty small so you can run lower boost if you need to.
