[s-cars] safe boost limits

[James Murray (LMC)]

If you take out the WGFV won't you need to replace it with something?
Otherwise you won't get any boost at all. I assume your considering a manual
boost controller, this would effectively also stop wastegate creep if setup
correctly according to the AutoSpeed article.

For the limp mode condition, you could put a bleeding device that keeps the
sensor from seeing more than 2.5 bar.

Rod is much more of a real life expert, he might have more insight, since
I'm just doing bench mechanics at the moment... no real BTDT...

	So, with that in mind, if I take out the WGFV and just splice it
straight
	into the wastegate thereby allowing boost directly to the turbo all
the time
	what boosts would I get ?

	Assuming that I need to "wind" the spring down, is that meant to say
that I
	have an adjustable wastegate ? Or simply , just put the stock one
back in.
	Secondly, is it the overboost that is causing the limp mode to be
activated
	? Basically, what happens is the car will drop boost down to 1.1,
1.2 Bar
	abs. until a restart. And that is all that is available in any gear
during
	this mode. Any attempt to go above this boost results in a most
dramatic
	loss of power.

	I have thought of getting a spare WG lid and making an adjustable
spring
	saddle. Anyone ever use one ? Are they worth while ?

	Thanks all for your input, keep the ideas flowing. In the mean time,
I will
	keep my foot outta it.
