it is a stupid question, stupid.

but,, you can't get new springs. you can extend the actuator arm, but not put in a new spring.

damn man, he just asked a question, and you go calling him a trick? what gives LOL

you *can* replace the spring but its waaay more trouble than it's worth. I've heard of crusing BOV's but never wastegates.

Stock setting is ~8 psi, I wouldn't ever want to go lower than that on that little turbo.

Nope, wastegate is set at 8 psi. DSMs have a solenoid that raises the boost.

Re: 14b wastegate setting

my wastegate on my dsm opens at 10 psi. it's been that way ever since i put it on my car. i thought my boost gauge was reading wrong but when i got it tuned the map was reading 10.
