Which WG spring is this ?? (Green) *PIC*
This is from an ssautocrap tial copy wastegate (I'm on a budget 
). I ordered it assuming it was a 5.83 PSI spring, but decided to open up my wastegate just to make sure so I don't overboost and blow up my engine after installing everything this weekend.
I went to Tial's page that shows spring sizes, but I don't know whether I have a big/small spring. I looked at some ssac auctions on ebay for different springs, but I couldn't even find where they sell a green spring. The wastegate is a 35mm (at least that's what the box says).
Hopefully someone can help me out.
Edit: figured out that I have a small spring, does that mean that it's a .65 bar spring?

With the budget wastegates, there's no real way to tell what spring you have. Maybe you should contact SS for info on their product and see what they say.

Same here.
Email them and they will send you another spring if it was supposed to be the 5.83psi spring. I had them send me a wastegate with their big blue spring with the cover for the big spring when it was supposed to be an 8.7. They sent me another spring and new cover out right away. I've ordered about 5 gates from them and only had it happen once so far

Mine started at 8.5 psi and now goes up to 10 psi. I don't know how the hell SS acomplished to make a wastegate that changes over time.

Re: Which WG spring is this ?? (hotrex)
Usually there are two different sizes:
Small green: 1.875 in.= 7.25psi or 0.5 bar
Big green: 2.36 in.= 19.58 psi or 1.35 bar

I emailed them about it and had a response within 30 mins. saying they would send out a new red spring
