what turbo are you running, how much boost do you plan to run, etc?



the spring rate is when the wastegate opens to vent excess exhaust. for example, a .5 bar spring would open the wastegate when you see .5 bar of boost. you could always change when the wastegate opens with a boost controller, but you cannot go below the spring rate.



if you need a really inexpensive wastegate, i have an old HKS one that's been rebuilt, but was too small for my application. i can't recall the diameter or spring rate, but if interested, i could check.
