took apart new cdm wastegate
got my new jackie chan wastegate today so of course i take it apart to see what kinda job the 10yr old that made it did. i dont know what im looking for so heres some pictures anyways. i'm no expert but i think it came with a used spring :1 it was $49 + shipping = 69 or somthin (from the new ssac site) so if it works ill be happy with it.
im guessing the narrower spring is a stiffer spring, not sure which is what psi so if anyone knows help me out
not really sure if this deformity of the diaphram is ok or not...

They are knock offs of the real deal, you can interchange seals, top hats, bodies, etc.
TiAL small (35, 38mm) gates usually rock the small inner spring, but can run an outer spring either by itself or in addition to the small spring.
TiAL large (44mm, etc) gates usually rock the large outer spring, but can run a small inner spring either by itself or in addition to the large spring.
Car I was tuning earlier has a TiAL red outer spring and a ching chong meow red inner spring. FYI, the spring rates just add up. Check TiAL's website for details.

Re: took apart new cdm wastegate
mine came with just the big dirty one installed. i orderd the one with a 5psi spring from the site so i figured it was that one.
tial site says the large dirty one is 11.6psi and the small one is 5.8psi, which is strange cause the small one feels stiffer, but it is shorter
this is assuming tials 38mm wastegate springs are the same as mine

Re: took apart new cdm wastegate
I picked up a couple of those myself. gonna try them out.
my crx will be the test subject this weekend, so we'll see. And the flanges that it came with looks like aluminum, but they are not and weld up just fine.
