I recently bought a ct-26 hybrid and Im not sure if the wastegate is set at the same as the stock ct-26. Is there any trick for testing the pressure that it opens at? Ive tried with a compressor but I need some way to slowly increase the pressure and gauge it until it opens.
New turbo wastegate test

same thing with an air compressor, get a t so you can hook up a boost gauge while you watch it. I just did this to my friends adjustable wastegate.
yeah i just got a t and did that. and it doesnt open until 17psi. i only want to run about 10 or 12 for now. is there anyway of adjusting that without putting on a different wastegate? It has an adjustable arm but it doesnt matter if i set it all the way out if it doesnt even activate until 17. right?
can you take the actuator apart? I was looking at it and it I dont see any way to disassemble it. Or do I have to buy a different actuator?

I don't believe so, could be wrong.
Might have to purchase the actuator and arm... it all depends on the structure of the actuator. If it's pressed together, then yeah.. you probably can't take it apart easily or w/o damaging it.
Is this a BOSS turbo? If so, you can just get another actuator if you're not planning on running 17psi w/o a controller.
