300zx/200sx t25

Hi Everyone,
Don't suppose anybody knows the psi settings on the standard internal wastegate actuators for a 200sx (ca18det) and a 300zx (vg30dett) both running garrett t25 turbos?

As far as I'm aware the only difference between them is that the vg30 uses a flanged turbo and the ca18 uses a normal turbo!? Just want to double check the pressure settings for the wastegate as I don't want to overboost my engine and blow it up! Cheers in advance.
Tom

IIRC std boost on the CA18 is 6-8psi.

Yeah I thought it was about 8 for the ca18, just want to double check that using the vg30 turbo won't kill it. Wouldn't have thought it would but better safe than sorry.

Apparently I can run upto 12 psi in standard trim on the ca18 before getting knock...

My mates looking into tuning his CA18DET 200sx and he says 14-16psi on std trim with upgraded intercooler. So should be ok

colder plugs if you wind it past 8ish psi.the tips have a habit of melting or dropping off!
