not sure what thats supposed to mean but ok...now i know what a boost controller does...but im just not sure if it will control the wastegate...id imagin so right? and dont be sayin ooo you dont know anything about turbos stop and research yada yada yada i dont wanna hear it just a simple answer would be appreciated

EDIT: answered my own question yea i can

 

a boost controller and only raise boost above what the spring is set.......you can't set a boost controller for a lower amount then the spring you have....

.7 bar spring is about 8 pounds.....so you can use a boost contoller to set it to 12. But you can't use one to set it to 6...make sense?

 

yep i get it...thanks for the help...is there anyway i can check and see if they sent the right one just ina wrong box? i dont feel like shipping it back so i guess ill end up gettina new spring

 

well, if it's marked 1 bar....then that's probably what you have. The only way to tell without putting it on a car and seeing where it opens.....is to open it up and see what color spring they have in there and ask them....but it's a pain to put back together haha

 

i know...ive heard theyre a bitch to change springs...damn it...when i look at the hole in the bottom i can see something red...what color is a 1 bar spring? well its either red or orange...cant really tell

 

the orange part is not the spring.....thats the rubber piece around the part that raises and bleeds the air off when the wastegate opens. YOu can't see the spring with the wastegate assembled I don't think

 

thought it looked like rubber...damn i wonder if theyd make me send it back and send me a whole new .7 wastegate or if they could just mail me the spring and have me change them or something....

 

"subscribed" means he can check the status of this post lol...to see where it goes

yeah i just got my wastegate actuator in the other day and fabricated a bracket to mount it to the turbo. Then i didn't have the bolts to mount it...so i made those too, and the brass fitting that the oil line is attached to i also made because i can't find a fitting that could be used (-3AN to 10M 1.25)
here is a pic of it
the bracket is made out of 304 stainless steel, the screws are made out of 4130 steel
