Default Help with boost spike

I have a peakboost ramhorn Mani with 38mm wastegate
Turbonectics wastegate with 9plbs spring but adjusted to 8.5 or about .6bar
Turbonectic t3/t4 50trim
3inch open exhaust and dp with a 3inch resistor
I have the prosport digital bar gauge it was dyno tuned at .6 bar and reads .7 bar at high rpms only
I have the vac line going from the turbo to the wastegate and the wastegate is also dumped

Anything I could do?
I do have a 7lbs spring brand new could I use that in there even if it's tuned for 8.7

you could always go lower than you are tuned for, try the lesser spring and make sure you dont boost higher than you are tuned for.

If I put the 7lbs spring in can I leave the set screw on the wastegate where it is

the preload adjuster may be able to fix your current problem. have you tried loosening it a bit?

here are the instructions from turbonetics

I already switch the spring test drove it
I'm under boosting for what I'm tuned for but it's better than over boosting
I'm at .5 so about 7.5 but my friend has a psi gauge same brand and I'm going to hook it up to see the exat lbs that I'm running I think I'm around 8.5 and .6 is 8.7 psi

Unless you live life in metric, it isn't "cool" to play like you do...

Obviously you can adjust for the lighter spring to get to your desired open pressure. Then again, I only run quality parts.

I thought turbonectic was a quality part
