How many springs does my HKS 60mm Wastegate have?

I have a 10lb spring in it now and I am wanting to buy a 20-22 lb spring. Problem is, I go to HKS's website and they list a center, outer and inner spring..... Which one do I get?

Check it out,

you most likely only have the outer spring, you can probably buy another spring that adds to your existing 10 lb spring. my tials have 2 spring to make 17 lbs

I wish I knew for sure before I started ordering parts that can't be returned.

When they come in the factory box, three different springs are included, which you can mix and match from like 6psi up to 26psi.

mine came with my hks t51r kai kit... so no other springs were included.

Do you know which spring I would need for for a 22lb spring?

They usually come with a 1 bar spring (white/blue)... if you want a base boost of 20-22 then you need to use the white/blue and the silver then adjust the gate until you get the boost you want. One spring will fit inside the other. Be careful when opening it however - those springs are pretty damn strong. Also - I'd recommend a vise for putting it back together.

Edit - this is just for the GT gate... the GT2 is totally different and much better IMO.
