What boost pressure should a standard turbo produce with the actuator pipe disconnected?

lol sorry I just read the post PROPERLY ha (blind twat)
I suppose technically it keeps going until you hit the top of the compressor map (which is just over 2 bar for a standard T28?) and then it makes no more, but for all intents and purposes I'll agree with that.

I thought it was supposed to boost to 2 bar, i also know it will go bang very quickly! I was just wondering because with the pipe off mine only boosts to 1.2 bar and then drops to 1 bar while accelerating! I just really dont want to take the actuator off, its hard work!

I ran 2bar on a standard engine and turbo for a month without it being mapped, Car never felt quick before and i had a forged engine waiting to go in so thought fuck it. Only used to take it to 6.5k and it never missed a beat, pure luck. I've never seen a turbo with as much play as the one we took off though. Was rapido and worth a months fun for the cost of an old turbo, although it should have cost me an engine lol. Funny thing is i had nothing but trouble with the forged engine i bought to replace it with, ended up doing an irish engine swap, took out a good one and replaced it with a shitter lol.

Thanks for your help, Im hoping to run mine at 1.2 bar once i've put my front mount on, I should hopefully be alright then with the other mods i've got on! Just means I now have to take the turbo off again . . . . .Happy days!!
