Default Are tial and turbosmart wastegate springs the same?
i have a 9 psi spring for my turbosmart wastegate and i want to put in a 10 psi spring. I have read in some places that they are the same spring and other places that they are different. Does anyone know the answer?

I sure hope Turbosmart has gotten better at their wastegates. Back in the day I had many a problem with them failing. Don't they offer a 10 psi spring?

Get a cheap MBC and that way you can boost to whatever psi you wish and have the benefit of the turbo spooling better.

I just got a Forge Boost Controller off ebay for 85 shipped. Just install that and you can run more boost.
