Re: KH wg spring in mc turbo results

Gerard, it's a waste to "get" a kh wastegate and cap to simply use the
spring and cap only. These wastegates on our cars are too rare. Just use
your imagination and see what springs you might be able to get from a
junk yard that may fit inside the mc spring to assist it. You'll only need
a soft spring. Other option is buy a 1.6 bar spring from someone. Last and
easiest option is again, use your imagination and shim the spring.
