tail waste gate spring(please help)
hey guys im going to get tuned by shiv on tue and i only have a .8 bar spring in my waste gate. what i am wondering is if any locals in washington or oregan since i have to drive through there, have an extra sring. either a small spring or big spring. i need to be between 1.2 and 1.6 bar. if anyone knows of a shop that has them in stock also let me know. with it being memorial weekend i dont think i can get one shipped

If you can't find another spring (I would be shocked if any place had one), here is what you can do.
For pump gas, just unhook all the lines from your wastegate. This will get you 20-23psi (of cousre verify this since not all springs are created equal).
For race gas, hook a hose from a pressure source to the top of the wastegate. This will give you as much pressure as the wastegate can handle. This may end up over 30psi, so you may want to get a needle flow valve or a cheap MBC.

Oh wow Bro I must be WAY to drunk lol i didnt even notice i was just looking at it without even noticing you must have two names on here huh???
Yeah I did, switched them and Psi is at about 13-14 psi so i think i figured it out now i can adjust and play.
And I got a smoking deal to day on 17x9.5 inch rims and evo 7 tail lights from a buddy 400.00

Haha, it's all good. Glad to hear you got it worked out. What kind of wheels did you get? I'd like to get a set of Evo VII tails eventually so if you decide you don't want them since you already have those nice IX tails let me know
