no wastagate spring, and drive slow!

mine came off one day when i was late to work about a mile away, in that mile the compressor side started leaking..

the boost pressure actually helps the oil seal and keeps the oil out of the compressor housing..

so dont drive it for long, and if there is a little oil clean it up and check it after the pipes are made..

You can leave the spring in just keep it under 25% throttle. No boost will be created. Nice and gentle like your grandma drives.
