Adjustable Wastegate
Jerry Beer recently added a stiffer wastegate spring from
TAP to his 91 200q, reporting more boost & faster
spoolup. Before I spent the $50 for the spring Ivor
charges, I messed about. As most of you know, our turbo
cars come with a (potentially) adjustable spring perch in
the top of the wastegate. On my Ur-Q, this adustment was
made impossible by the factory's use of epoxy which I
was unable to drill out. However, my 20v turbo merely
had an aluminum cap that was easy to drill out. I now
have an adjustable wastegate- but I can't really
experiment until I get my problem solved (see my post
under "Boost Induced Woes"). So help me solve the
aforementioned problem and I'll report on my drilling &
adjustment vs. Ivor's spring.
