Here's one of the one bar spring. I was over at my uncles shop yesterday and he has a bunch of spring just like this, I'm gonna play around with it to see if I can get the boost down around 10psi.

Here is a pic under the cap, I was reading an article in the faq's about how I can modify it to hold lower boost, gonna play with the sping from my uncles first...

it's a audi (maybe saab/volvo, i forget) wastegate. you're going to need a flange to mate up the the four bolt part of it, the other part is where you're going to run your dump tube from. there's an article in the forced induction FAQ on how to make it adjustable ;) i had one of those a while ago but sold it b/c i didn't have a welder at the time to flange my mani to accept it.


here ya go, it's old, so if the pics aren't still up, just email/pm shortyz ;)

Spenser it's an audi wastegate, and like you I was surprised how big it is.
Projekteg do you know what the pipe if for in the last pic, I just fixed the pic I forgot to download it to newbieforces :P

i'm pretty sure that connects you the nipple on your comp. housing. i posted the thread about it in my other post, it may say for sure.

---- how much did you pay for that thing, I see them at the junkyards all the time. :-\

Re:WOOT, Got my wastegate today!!Pics up with a ??
 

Wouldn't the little nipple connect to the compressor housing?

Spenser I paid $50US, so about $68Canadian shipped to my door. Pretty good considering what a TIAL wastegate goes for and these are basically the same thing.
