Well you called it. It was shiny new in and out, and original box ... but it has a small yellow spring in it.

0.25 BAR 3.626 PSI spring

I already have a big yellow 10psi spring to replace it with.

it vac sig to your wg is right out of the compressor. It is prob around 7.5 lbs their. thier is prob about a 2 lbs loss through your piping and intercooler. Still their could be a leak. Mine isnt boosting right. It builds at the normal time and holds steady boost at partial throdle, but and WOT the boost falls off at the top end. I havent looked for leaks though
