no spring = no boost. you'll be fine.

Don't bother taking out the spring. Get a decent boost/vaccum gauge. When it reads positive pressure, lay off the throttle. Simple as that.

Why the ---- would he go through all the hassle if he hasn't got a boost guage yet , when its a 30 second job removing the spring

HiProfile

If he doesn't already have a boost gauge, it shouldn't even be started up. My guess is he rebuilt something in the motor, and has to break it in - WOT style. You can get away with stock maps for 0psi, but you'd be guessing at 5-10psi if it was it's first run ever.

BTW - take out the spring AND crack open the BOV port (leave it loose or remove). I had a b16 w/egay ---- on it boost 10psi with the spring out. All I can say about that is I let the owner take it out, and I went from there to tune...

MADMAN4YOU

thanks guys....well i already had the spring out...i have a bosst guage its not installed yet, but if i need to put it in just in case i will.

Inquisition

Because he needs a boost gauge anyway. If you can't stay off the throttle for a week or two before you get tuned, you deserve a blown engine. If you can, you will be rewarded by hopefully having a nice turbocharged vehicle. Open wastegate just enables him to do stupid ----. He'll think its okay to stick his foot the floor and it that might not be the case. Learning to control your throttle is an important lesson for anyone that drives.
