Re:why should i use a spring on the wastegate?

dude, im not going to get another wastegate when my turbo has an internal one. buying an external wastegate + ------- with my HX manifold to put it on + not using the internal wastegate that i already have = not an elegant *or* creative solution

son of a bitch! godammit, you know there's a difference between saying get a new wastegate actuator, and getting a new wastegate :P

this will work, it will also work to raise boost if you use it the other way, its just like changing the spring.

Re:why should i use a spring on the wastegate?

I have a T25 ( supposebly around 8p.s.i.) I think im going to just leave it like it is and run it like that due to the fact that it should drop a couple of pounds when going through the intercooler and i will be using a msd 6btm ignition and a 12:1 FMU. What do you think? Thanks
