who has done this to their 14b The first time I turbo'd the S-10 I just opened the wastegate and but the spring but this time I wont have the actuator at all. Can you post a few pics as well

 

yupi no first hand... they blow... they heat up and after that there no good

 

Oh you guys are just using the wrong types of springs.. use a rear brake drum spring heh, actually its hard to find a good spring, and one that will actually hold boost without fluctuating to much. The only time I ever recommend doing one, is if you just want to slap the ---- together real fast and see if it works. But I do suggest using a real wastegate, Make custom brackets, do anything but get one on there.
