external wastegate question.
hey. i know to most of you, this might sound dumb, and i've already searched. question is: the psi rating on an external wastegate spring- are we talking about how much of the wasted boost the spring can hold? if so-hypothetically- of someone is running 15 lbs. and their turbo is rated up to 25 lbs., they would need a wastegate that has a 10lbs. of pressure rating, correct? hey- i'm still very much a noob to tuning and FI in general, so don't grill me if i'm totally off the ball here, kay. any useful input is welcomed. thanks.

Re: external wastegate question. (touandcim)
the wastegate spring is the rated pressure before the gate opens.. ex. if i have a 10 lb spring my wastegate opens at roughly 10 psi and dumps .u can also change the settings with a boost controller. hope this helps
