Wastegate preference
Somehow this question just poped into my head the other night. I personally run a 38mm tial that vents via a dump tube below the enigne compartment. Just wanted to get some opinions and see what everyone else does.

Even the 13psi spring I have isn't holding right... i'm jinxed i think. At least my cap was the fully adjustable one, 9psi outta it now... thats boost controllable enough for me.

Re: Wastegate preference
ummm, theres only 2 springs for the audi wastegates. one is ~8-9 psi on the eirlyer modles, and the other is ~3-4 psi on the newer modles
the difference is the older modles didnt have an electronic boost control sylenoid, so they basically ran one boost regardless of engine condition. the later modles ran an ebc system, so when it was cold/hot or the motor was cold or the gas was a low grade octane, the ecu would pull boost.
