After getting the New Turbo Actuator fitted to my NP DiD it came back with only 13psi max boost which someone rightly pointed out "Thats Too Low Dude, it should have around 18 psi" I rang the Boss from H T who said it was low but still OK, I said its driving well but I'm worried about when I'm towing up hills etc. He said I don't have any mechanical ajustment but I can use up to 5mm washers under the actuator to give it more preload which will delay the wastegate opening, so I've just finished the job and sure enough I now have 17psi and she's going like a Rocket again! He also said they recommend Turbosmart Boost Controllers but I didn't want to pay $100 plus on one. I bought a Turbosmart Gauge which was well worth the money.

thats good news but its a good idea to fit a boost dial so you can run at say 13 and turn it up to say 17 when needed, i wouldn,t be running around with 17 psi all the time.NS 3.2 Diesel, Polor White , Black CSA Rims, HanKook Dynapro AT Tyres, 3 inch custom stainless steel exhaust with free flow Cat & Muffler, 50mm Lift, Old Man Emu Shocks and Springs, TJM Bullbar powder coated White, Custom 7mm Sump Guard & Transmission Guard, 8 inch LED Spotties plus 20 inch LED Light Bar, rear Reverse LED Light, ARB Roof Cage , Tiger11 Awning.

Im pretty sure they run 20psi max boost at stock
with over 21psi reading an over boost error and cutting engine power temporarily
My gauge will momentarily show 20psi when I'm pulling real hard up a hill.
17psi is a daily occurrence for me when i put the foot down, i think these engines and turbos could handle a bit more honestly, if the ecu didn't restrict it

I was a bit disappointing with my loss of kick that came with bigger tyres.
My mechanic put a little dial under the bonnet to boost the pressure but after fitting the snorkel, I kept getting the overboost error and loss of power, not a good situation to have when you pull out to overtake.
What gauges are people running to monitor/adjust boost on the fly?2002 NM GLS 3.2 DiD Manual

I have boost and exhaust temp gauges on my np 24-27 psi (1.7 bar) normal reading on the gauge depending on how cold it is , I read 27psi is standard, getting a steinbaer chip and dyno tune on Saturday I will be asking if they will increase the boost.

Turbo boost
According to my workshop manual for a Pajero 3 4m41 motor, non commonrail.
Testing the actuator with pressure pump the shaft must start moving 1mm at 161kpa which is 1.6bar. Do not exceed 181kpa which is 1.8bar.
Therfore standard boost is 1.6bar.
25psi is 1.7bar in the middel of min and max. (regard as safe).

I use a 50mm diameter VDO pressure gauge (mechanical type) scaled to 30 psi. Tapped into the inlet manifold just behind the butterfly. I drilled and tapped 1/8" bsp thread for the fitting but only drilled a 1mm diameter hole right through the aluminium. I see 19psi maximum boost when the engine is under load at around 2600 rpm. Around 5-6 psi boost at 110Kmh on flat ground. Put the cruise control on and watch the boost mimic the lay of the land.2004 NP Diesel, auto, GLS, white with silver trim.

So you are no where near max boost for the waste gate to operate. Waste gate starts operating at 24 to 25 psi. You will determine max boost if you ride it harder than 2600 rpm.

Maximum boost is factory set at 19 psi I think. 21 psi will throw an over-boost alarm as I understand. I have only ever seen mine go to 19 psi, as I stated, around 2600 rpm under load. Any increase in engine revs after that and the boost actually falls away slightly, as it will because the turbo charger can't continue to maintain maximum intake pressure right to the end of the rev range. Check the performance curve for turbo chargers to get a full understanding.2004 NP Diesel, auto, GLS, white with silver trim.
