im helping my buddy turbo his ek civic. Hes rocking an ss auto wastegate, but the ring that goes around the piston doesnt sit down all the way. It sticks above the flange and the gasket doesnt fit over it? The ring obviously has to be in because it would leak exhaust out from around it all the time. Is this an ss auto fitment problem, or am i :1

you wanna tell me how it works then?

I've got an ssauto wastegate, i havent used it yet because i dont know what spring is in it but it looks normal. If anyone could tell me if theres anyway to tell what psi the spring is let me know, I already took it apart and the spring has no paint on it at all.

just bolt it up to the manifold and as u tighten it down the ring will suck up into the wastegate.

^true dat. if is still doesnt want to go, then you got the wrong ring..

is common sense absent in your state or county?

my buddy had this same problem. im almost positive he just tightened it until the spring compresses it up.

it will work, just put it in even, and tighten it down evenly. my tial does that sometimes also.
