Homer Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yep, 1 bar is the norm for the XS gates. I've only heard of TF changing them, so god knows if thats accurate info or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks mate:) don't happen to know where to get a lower PSI spring from do you? or are they interchangeable with another make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 They are interchangeable, i had an xs one in my Greddy WG so id say any Greddy one would fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno mate, i changed when i was running in the new engine as the Greddy one was to high, with the xs one i was only getting 0.5bar with the nut wound right out, iirc the xs wastegate is not adjustable though.

Homer Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 There's 3 types of XS wastegate I know of, 38mm, 42mmm and 50mm. The one I had was the 42mm and it came with the 1 bar spring, which one do you have Ricky? And Jamie, mine was not adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n boost Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 My mate has a 0.7 bar spring for a xs power 50mm wastegate. I will ask him if he wants to get rid of it as it was a spare for his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Mine came with what they said was a 0.7bar spring, it was crap and wouldn't stay closed at anything over 1.0bar so I had to swap it for a higher rated one, found one on Ebay from the states, worked a treat.

Thanks mate that could be handy, the reason i want a low spring pressure (assuming an external behaves the same way as an actuator internal one) is that i want to run a quite low boost setting, .6 to .8 bar and then set up the boost controller for two or three boost settings.
