Running 9 psi now, can i turn it up to 23 psi?!
Hey guys, i am getting my car ready for the dyno on friday, and i am currently using a small blue spring (.6 bar). I ordered another spring that was going to put me at 18 psi, and then i was going to turn it up to 23 with my manual boost controller. Well the guy sent me the wrong spring (another small blue) and i won't be able to get another one before the dyno day.
I know people say you can usually only go 2X the wastegate spring, but some people are able to do more.
Also, i know this sounds ghetto, but would i be able to stretch one spring out and use that one? would that acheive higher boost?

I believe you can run both springs which would give you 1.2 bar (Tial's site claims that you can use 2 springs and it will equal the 2 spring pressures added up). That should be able to take you above 23 psi.

it doesn't work like that for 2 small springs. that is only for a small plus a large.

because you end up stacking them together and so the solid height (fully compressed) of the springs double. The valve can't lift very high and you get mad boost creep.
