What's the problem? You trying to make more or less boost? You shoulda gotten 2-3 springs with the gate.

More boost. It came with 3. I'm still new to this turbo stuff but we have the tightest spring in there I think the most we can make is 14.5-15lbs on it. need to put this 88 to use and run 20+. I'm starting to realize now I should have bought a tial gate

If you want more boost why don't you get a cheap manual boost controller? Much easier than swapping springs anyway.

swapping springs in these wg's are super easy, only takes 15 min on my car from taking it off, going to the bench, swapping springs, then putting it back on the car

im in the same situation now cause i can only get 7.5 psi off my spring, which is fine for now but this winter id like to have 10-12 off spring alone

also, i cant remember where i read it, if it was even on here or not, but ive heard of a few people using a diff brand spring in the JGS wastegate to get more boost off the spring...cant remember which brand though

The most boost we can or seems can make is 14.5-15psi on the most stiff jgs spring. My friend told me something about using nitrous jets. I wonder what other brand guys are using in the jgs gate. I'd like to know!

getting the 14-15psi on the stiffest spring? are you running the boost reference line to the just the bottom port, or the top and bottom?

BOOST CONTROLLER...... Guys it doesn't get any easier. Get a $50 manual boost controller and save yourselves the headache! I recomend the Hallman units. I have a JGS gate and have almost infinate control with my hallman controller.

how high of boost can you get just off of the spring? MBC usually only gets you double correct?

in my case i can only get 7.5 on the spring, which would be 15psi with a MBC...i will be needing more lol
