External Wastgate Spring Changes

[Craved]

Heya guys,

Just checking about external gates.

how much spring pressure is on the top section of the WG ..

i just got a new Tial external Gate, with 1.2 Bar springs already installed. I want to remove the .2 helper spring and just run the 1 bar using the EBC for the other 3psi so i can drop the boost down on the track (std internals on track at 18psi .. hmm )

basically just checking if some kind of press is required to install/change these springs. i just remember a turbosmart workshow article in a zoom mag, and saw them using a press to squash the units together before bolting it together

is this required, or can you do it by hand??

cheers

a press?

hell no man.

I did it by hand. You need two people... one press down on the hat, the other put the screws back in

Just make sure you press the hat evenly, and that the spring is in the seat correctly before you compress it etc.

You dont wanna have it not working cause it wasnt in right.

Be careful when taking the lid off too... its under some pressure and shoots off if you aint holding it down

yup yup gotcha .. might enlist the assistance of a G clamp in there somewhere ... just to make it easier.

that should holt the hat and the base square to each other.

thanks again Ash
