    Good to know. I guess they mixed it up on the '99 year. They are silver stock.

    Two for dark grey. That was where I was leaning as well. Just wanted some more opinons. Thanks guys!

    I'm using Kinugawa adjustable wastegates.

    Your impression? Seriously considering them.

    Car has only been up and running (drivable) since April and I haven't pushed them hard for and extended period of time yet.

    That said. I think they are built very well. Easy to set up and change out springs. I have had zero issues with them and so far am very happy with my purchase.

    I do recommend them. But I haven't proven them yet, if that makes sense.

    Did you test the pressure where they crack open? Not too easy to do if the o2 housings are installed. I have the Drweldin springs in my stock WG and I have them set to crack open at 12 psi IIRC. It's important they crack open at the same time as well.

    Mod list (scroll down the page)
    JNS Engineering has your Spyders covered (and uncovered too!!)

    Maybe someone can chime in on how critical it is. The number of turns of preload will get you close but I did need to fine tune mine.

    Talked to DRweldin about his, but he gave a huge "maybe" time frame and required 4 or 5 other parties. Looks like I'll be going with the Kinugawa.

    We follow the earth. The earth follows the stars. The stars know their way and though the body dies. The stars will remain, like the waves of the sea and restless slate.
