To the original poster, it sounds like you have the stiff spring. Switch to the standard as mentioned. You can get the standard spring from any place that can order greddy parts (greddy dealer).



To get to the spring, you will need a pair of internal/external snap ring pliers to remove the pressure/vacuum chamber. Remove the tension adjuster, place the BOV upside down, apply pressure to keep the BOV on the ground, and work the magic of the pliers. Expect the BOV to want to seperate rapidly (std spring), and near violently if fitted with the stiff spring. Swap springs, then reapply pressure to the upper and lower portions of the BOV, and refit the internal C-spring. Fit the tension adjuster, and you should be ready for action.



The stiff spring really should be used for over 25-30 psi operation, or for (verified) 50 psi alcohol motors. So, stiff = track, and standard = street.

ok, i finally dismantled the wastegate



so now i have 3 different springs



the one on the left is the type r stiff spring, the two others came when i bought a greddy type s, the right most was in the type s bov, and the middle one was not inside.



im going to be using the middle spring.

 

So how did that end up working out using a RS spring in the R?

Im thinking about doing the same.
