First the flange it came with is 35mm and not 38mm just like the wastegate.
And I can't tell the color of spring
It's both red (5.83psi) and black (1.1bar) as you see on the photo. I can squeeze it by hand. Are there anybody here has the same color spring? I asked for a 6psi one, so i really hope it is wanted to be red. How can i test it without WOT?

The 35/38 mm wastegates use the same flange. A 6 psi spring is the small red one, and the large red one is 1.1 bar I think. That's what they sent me, a large red one instead of a small red one. It looks like they made the same mistake with you, sending you the large one. Just to make sure, place the spring in the wastegate and leave the top off and take a pic and I can verify if it's the large one.

In case it is the same ----, what did you do? Did they send you a new one? I hate exchange things as international shipping is expensive from Hungary
I hope they ship another spring internationally.Or can i cut it half? Could you measure the right 6psi spring for me? (diameter and long)

Re: external wastegate against boost creep?
Yea, they screwed up your order as well. That's the "big" red spring, 1.1 bar. I emailed the seller and got shitty responses, then they gave me the direct email address to the manufacturer who sent me out a new spring free of charge. I just had to be persistent and not act like a dick about it. Here's a thread I made about the situation:

One more question. Could you please tell me the dimensions of the 6psi spring? There is a place in my area where custom springs are made, but i have to tell the dimensions (diameter, length) for them.
