What would cause my wastegate to open early, it opens around 3-4psi but has a green 5.8psi spring.

It used to open at around 5.5 psi, it just started doing this a few days ago, can the spring go bad???

Or could the autometer gauge be bad?? It still reads correct vaccum though and sits at -2 with the engine off.

ANYBODY, I need ideas, thanks

 

does the car pull hard still?

your boost guage sitting at -2 sounds bad too me . with engine off it should be at 0

see if you could borrow some cheap mechanical boost gauge from someone to double check readings..

 

Guess I'll go to autozone tomorrow and pick up the sunpro gauge they sell and give it a try.

Can't really borrow one around here, just about every one in this town rolls on spinning rims with alteza lights, I think I'm about the only one boosted and stock looking

 

Yup, It was the boost gauge. You would think you could trust Autometer to build a quality product.

It pissed me off because I was like damn 6psi is fast, but it was actually like 9psi, oh well

Guess I'll call tomorrow and order a new one
