Stiffer Wastegate Spring

[Greg Winston]

Efraim,

I realize that I won't get much above 1.4 without modifying the ECU, but at 
this point I would be happy to have 1.4 bar consistently (and low in the 
tachometer range).  Maybe I just have a weak wastegate spring, but it takes 
a long hill and a heavy load in 4th gear to even get to 1.3 bar here in 
Kansas.  I figured a stiffer spring would help (and that's why I'm looking 
for a 1.5/1.6 bar spring at the moment instead of a 1.8).

The other thing I'm going to try is to increase spring tension and therefore 
boost via the adjustable wastegate mod.

Greg
