ssautochrome wastegates are great after all
EDIT: Aright well I have to change my post becuase its not their product, but their lack of knowlegde about their products. They did contact me thrugh a different email, and infolrmed me they have 2 blue springs a 14 psi and a 8.7 psi, and said they must have sent me the 14, and to leave my adress so they could ship me a new one. SO three days later i get everysingle one of their springs in my mail box for free!! the 3 psi the 5 psi the 8 psi and the 14 psi. I put the new spring in and the wastegate works verywell, and holds 8psi strong. So as for the wastegate it is a very good product, its a mistake made by an employee that caused the problem. Below is my previous post, i dont like giving people a bad name if they dont completely deserve it.
I just wanted to post something about ss autochrome and their products from MY personal experience. I purchased a wastegate, the 35mm that looks like the tial, and it has failed to work for me after numerous attempts. I have it hooked up to its own vacuum befor the throttlebody, i have tighttened everything till i couldnt tighten it anymore many times, ive taken it apart to make sure it had a blue colored 8.7 psi spring in it, i grinded the bolt so it wouldnt contact the diafragm(sp) and still it continues to open at 13 psi..i have to admit it holds 13 strong but that is not going to work for me and that is not what they advertised for 190 f*cking dollars. I have sent them probaly 20 emails with no response to anyof them. So im not here to bash im here to give some feedback on some muh f*ckers that screwed me over, in hopes that you wont let them screw you.
