So, I can't change my wastegate spring, but I have to make something to
decrease the pressure seen by the wastegate? Anybody have a wastegate
proportioning valve??????
If you were to do this, why wouldn't you just allow spring changes from
spring-controlled wastegates? If I can disconnect the hose that controls
wastegate action, why can't I use a spring???
What am I missing??
