mine is also quiet from some reason and even with the vac running off the IM with a 8.7 spring I see about 7-7.5...........other than that it has worked fine for me

i have one as weel and my only word of caution to you is that if you get one you take the top off and check the spring before putting it on. they sent me the wrong one and when iw as supposed to get 6 psi i really got 14.7 so you can see that would be a problem but now i have a built block and it hold nice as ---- at 14.7 sometimes in fourth i spike to 17 but it kinda holds it there for a little so its not too bad.

I use one on a hf mani with 7.25 psi spring.
It runs 7.25 psi always.
Everygear, even fifth at 6k rpm.

Good for now, who knows how long though.

my friend said that they have springs at www.ssautochrome.com that they sell and say what psi spring it is, go to wastgates and bovs, then go to springs and find what one uhave, thats what i had to do since ill be buying a 14psi sping soon

I bought my 38mm brand new from ssauto on ebay for liek $120 somethign shipped. He gave me one with a 14.7 psi spring instead of the 6 psi spring as well.

To find out what spring you have, go on ebay and sear for wastegate springs or look under his other auctions. Thast how I fund out that the light blue spring was 14.7 and the red one was 6.

I thought hotrex bought hi used and it had seen some abuse before he bought it or somethign? His is the only failure I have heard about so far. They are pretty good quality IMO. He even provides flanges for the manifold and dump tube. :thumbup:

i dought hotrex had a failing wastegate
its his damn manifold that creeps like a mother, even with the tial

they dont have dark green on their list

maybe he'll answer his email; in the mean time someone wanna trade a possibly 1 bar spring for a lower pressure? :-/
