I learned this trick from HMT, I was surprised to see it had no boost creep and still spools fast.
Where is that at and how do I hook my garret up like that?

I call it more of a cheap basterd getto style.
Any internal waste gate can be modified like that, Just disconnect the waste gate actuator rod from the flapper door and use a spring to hold the flapper shut. The harder the spring pressure, the higher the boost your gonna run.
Well, both of my Turbo Escorts are very stock looking, You cant see the intercooler on the other one. But I'm a little more north of Anoka.
