Marty Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 hmm, so do you guys think im going to see problems trying to limit my boost to 1.1bar odd with this spring? Its a hks 50mm wastegate if that makes any difference. Back to topic .... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra ST Myster Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 ok, so whats the point of having a higher wastegate spring,or to put it another way, if a boost controller can controll a 9psi spring to say 1.5 bar? why by an expensive boost controller when you can just get a cheap spring that will do the same thing. Is it only so you can make it adjustable from the boost controller from 0.6 (.6bar wastegate spring) to 1.2 bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was running mine from wastegate (no boost controler) always boosted perfect everytime.. if your not wanting to alter the boost there is no need for boost controler... my new setup is being run by the AEM with a high and low boost switch on the dash.. I have not heard of any problems with the xs wastegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the wastegate doesn't get to the level it's rated to and then suddenly open, it opens gradually. With a boost controller you can effectively hold the wastegate closed until just when you want which means you build boost faster. Makes it easier to map too if you can hold it at different boost levels while you're doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
