forged wastegates psi issues?

**Sin'sVr4** · 10-16-2011, 11:48 AM

Ok, well, i bought the forged billet wastegates from DR with the 15psi spring. So, put them on my car and they only go to 20 psi. WG psi is only at 9psi? So I talk to Matt and he said shim them? So, i shimmed them and adjusted the arm and wg pressure is still 9si and max is still 20psi? wtf? anyone else have this issue? I paid for the 15psi spring and its apparently not? Matt said they dont have the other springs so am i just SOL?

Not sure what to tell you there man. Have you talked to Matt since you shimmed them? Surely he can figure out what the deal is.

i sent him a pm, not responded back yet. Just the reason i went with those is to get more boost. stupid to spend $400 for less boost from DR RACING

Huge boost leak?

Sin was blowing out stock wastegates above 23psi so he ordered a set of billet wastegates with 15psi springs from DR. Monet shipped Sin a set of Forge wategates and the order was not filled correctly. The wastegates have 9psi springs. The wastegates have been tested and confirmed to have 9psi springs.

He ordered 15psi springs

. Now Matt's telling him to shim them? Alright, seriously, he didn't ask for shims Matt. He asked for 15psi springs. If you couldn't fill the order you should have said something or sent the right springs as soon as he informed you. Send him the springs he originally ordered Monet. It really bugs the hell out of him.

Well if you guys are sure they are 9psi springs and he ordered 15 then yes I think Matt should source him some 15's as soon as he can.

he has Yellow springs, thats the correct spring for the application. See my above posts.

Just because they dont seem to work for 15psi on his turbos, on his car does not mean they are not correct. Seeing how I have sold 100's of sets of these it's kind of funny that the only set that does not work for 15psi with yellow springs is this set. And I set up the turn buckles on these for him (FOR FREE!) on a set om MHI new turbos I had here with my hand pump and they cracked upen right at 15psi.

Yeah I see, I definitely see your point. I thought he specifically asked for a certain spring.
