hey guys im a little confused here. im in the process of dropping a built motor in my tib and plan on running 20-22 psi max, but i plan on running the car daily at like 15 psi. i have a tial 38mm wastegate, but i really dont have a clue on what size spring i have to run. If you guys could help me out and give me some information that would be great. im also running an electronic boost controller just so you guys know. but the build is coming along great other wise at the moment
thanks
thanks
id order a 10lb spring because you can always go up from there in boost. Maybe even a 7lb spring for days when you don't want to push as much boost. with a boost controller you can go up from that spring 'pressure'..
Keep in mind, if you get a 10lb spring, you most likely will NOT be seeing over 8lb or so on the gauge.

@ turbosocks: What do you mean if i get a 10lb spring, i will most likely not see over 8lbs on the gauge? little confused on lbs. do you mean psi: lbs/square in. or no? sorry for the confusion.
