. Pics dont work now that im tryin to do this. found out theres adjustable upper waste gate spring perch and threaded allen screw from the earlier 84-85 5000 Turbo, our quattro, or the later 20V Turbo 3B or AAN engines and reduce the spring tension from the 1.8 bar spring

Well lets see i took off my hat off of my audi wastegate and used a punch and popped the cap off.
then used a longer m12 bolt and threw away the 10 mm alen hex bolt
then i used the inner hat that the 10mm hex nut sat on and double nutted it, 4 psi stock to whatever i want now.
and the 4 psi springs came on the adui 5000 sc, these are vaccumed silinoid controled.
the gaskets i can get for 28.00, but the funny thing is if you cut the spring u just bought u a $800 wastegate (that is at my price through my vw dealer i work at)

good luck

You should feel honor cause that is the last audi wg I pulled for anyone including myself. Those things are nighmares to get off. Good to see it's getting some good use out of it. Holy ---- Threshold 800 bones for that thing? I guess there's a reason I never buy things from the dealership and never will.

damn right 800 the best thing is when you take it off at the junkyard and pay 30.00 to 40.00 and walk away
with a very collectible item it is worth it...
