I meant to say an automatic* skyactiv specifically. There is a lot of discussion about auto vs manual with boost (mainly in racing forums) because the plate on an auto never fully closes during shifting, meaning you don't lose boost (i.e less likely to build up and over boost). I would imagine it's the same on the skyactiv, I guess it'll show during tuning. Although I could try to log the TP on mazdaedit to see the max and min in between starting the car shifting, and turning it off..
Yea but with these there are no specs on the box or a spec sheet. Remember this is a 1/3 2/3 priced item that needs to be inspected prior to use. You have to double check what the seller posted because it may be incorrect, and you have no way of telling if they tested it or not. Usually not because they buy these in bulk and even if the seller is correct on the information it doesn't mean it was set properly at the factory. A 5 minute or less test will save you from over boosting but a lot of these turbos are sold as part of bolt on kits where the buyer simply expects put the kit on their 10,15,20 year old Honda with no ecu tuning/external ecu, stock fuel injectors, wrong oil line size/restrictor etc and then when something fails, lambast the items on forums for their own negligence.
) I'd look at placing it as high as possible without infringing on the lip (or the transition from the vertical surface to the lip) of the pan.
once I get to that point yes. That's a new pan I bought, not the original.
