Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

yeah some pics would be very nice

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

yea, we need the pictures! i didnt know they were set at 14.5 psi. im gonna run 12 so i guess i can just turn that adjustment screw all the way in?

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

i talked to fook who got one around the same time i didi and he said his friend cut about 1 and a half coils off the spring and it lowered down to like 4 psi. throw a boost controller on it and its perfect.

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

it wasn't a friend, tho i wouldnt necessarily not call him that, it was your friendly neighborhood HMT admin on his ZC. ;)

Cut 1 coil you might be better off.

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

I was goning to try to measure the spring rate and find another that has a lighter rating.

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

i think in the end Jeff tried a Tial 8psi spring and still got 4psi.

Re: Lowering Boost Audi Wastegate.
 

MMM, Okay, I still might look into this, that way when I'm buil;t I can run the 14.5psi spring.
