    just swapped wastegates, springs are sooo different..pics

    Well, decided to try it and rebuild both stock wastegates withe the wrx ones i got from Hyde. (great guy btw). well, since i have two wrx waste gates that are the same, i figured to try and rbuild them. well, first, pulled apart the stock and then the wrx and couldnt believe the difference. swapped em out and makes quite a bit of difference. here is a pic of the two springs. the smaller (and thinner) is the mitsu. The wrx was alot stiffer too and when i get my exhaust housings back I will put it all back together and hopefully it holds together. the banging and crimping is a bitch but all in all i think i did a good job. we shall see
