Question Default spring in 45mm Tial Wastegate?

Anyone with the GT35/40 kit from A-Spec happen to know what spring pressure spring comes with the 45mm Tial Wastegate shipped with these kits?

Guess I'll know soon enough, should have her on the street tonight, assuming my injectors show up today!

kyle, the wastegate is not a Tial, but a PHR.

from personal experience, the PHR wastegate has three springs inside. with all three springs, you will see about 16lbs. i took it apart and removed the middle spring (two springs are in the middle of the biggest one). i left the biggest and smallest springs in there. with this setup, i have seen about .9bar of boost with just the WG regulating boost level.

FYI: I took out the smallest spring, left the two larger springs and I'm seeing 5psi with my boost controller turned off.

Since I don't have a map yet and I was using a to4e map to get started I wanted to start with a low boost number while I verifed a/f, timing, etc...now that I am happy with it @ 5psi and 10psi I'll put the smallest spring back in and take out the medium one.

BTW: with the middle spring out, leaving the small and large springs in, I get a solid 10psi w/boost controller off.
