i was thinking of buying a ssauto wg, not sure if it is, but ya, its like a 7.8 or 8.3 psi spring in it. just wondering if anyones had any bad things happen using them, or do they work good like a tial? its a 35mm i think, im getting it for 100shipped, and its brand new. all peices of it. u think its a good deal since they go for 150new shipped from them? and can i increase the boost without getting a new spring? please help me out, im building a decent kit, and i thought that the wgs should work ok. im not useing anything else from them, its just my friend isnt useing his. thanks -blake

Hotrex and a few guys run them. I know hotrex's the diapham took a crap on him, and only after a few weeks I think. I'd like to say you get what you pay for, but I'm running an OBX lsd and have no qwuams with it. Save your money, or get an Audi one.

i run ssac wastegate, its about the only thing that hasnt given me ---- yet, but the supposedly 8.7 psi spring, only gave me 7 psi, and this is a 60 trim t3 on a b16 with open 2 1/2" exhaust (no cat no muffler) and open wastegate dump tube as well, the tial 10.15 psi spring took me up to about 9 psi......

People normally hook the wastegate up from the turbo compressor right? Wouldn't that result in the engine not seeing the full boost because of the IC pressure drop?

For example, if your wastegate is set to 7 psi connected to the turbo....the wastegate sees 7psi.....opens...and then the engine sees 7psi-pressure drop from IC.

So if you hooked the wastegate vacuum line up after the intercooler, the wastegate would theoretically open at like 8-9 psi on the compressor side...but the engine would see the 7 psi?

I've been running one for a while. It started getting loose and the whole top rattled around. If that happens, remove all the allen bolts, pop the top off of it, tighten down the 19mm nut inside, and you're good to go. Mine hasn't given me problems since.

for some reason mine is very quiet also even without a pipe or anything on it

i just got it, it is in perfect shape, brand new, since u guys said there wanst any real big issues, but can u tell a big diff between these and tial? and how high boost can i run wiht a 8psi spring , cant i use a boost controler even if the spring is only made for that? ill prob upgrade to a tial later, but this was a good price, im gona get a 14psi spring too.

Hotrex ran one for a while, the rubber diaphragm broke

Some people complain of boost creep, but they also run SS Autochrome manifolds.

Alec has had good luck with his so far.

I see about a 1psi difference between switching signal location from compressor to intake mani.

so his 8psi spring would probably push 8psi on the intake mani. Alec's does.
