w41k3r Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 cheers mate also where do you measure to find out what size wastegate it is because the springs are for diff sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supspower Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 So you have a spring but no wastegate? or do you have the wastegate and want to know what pressure this spring will be in that wastegate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 have both want to know how i can tell what size wastegate i have ie where i measure and how to test the strength thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 measure the hole where the valve is ie where it bolts on to the manifold. To test the strength you can hook the wastegate up to a air compressor (one where you can control the pressure) and see at what pressure the gate opens.
