What if there was no wastegate spring???
I was wondering is there a possibility to run without a wastegate spring. Is it possible to regulate the boost with just a boost controller??

so can i do with with my DELTA wastegate and then it will be like runnin the car non turbo.. N/A for awhile just so make sure the ppl who do my paint job dont really boost my car? any downside to it?

It depends on whether the engine was tuned at a lower boost level. Don't take a chance... at least check and see if it is safe on a dyno... and tune if you must.
