Ok, i just had a thought, could I test my internal wastegate by attaching an air compressor to the wastegate nipple, and apply pressure until it opens the flap? I'm just trying to determine at what psi it opens up at.

yeah you can do that, i did that myself to test my actuator but be very careful you dont try to put 60 psi in it or it might damage the actuator.

lets see...stock boost up to 7 psi so it should start opening before then...atleast on a SR with a stock T-25/28.
