helloi have a turbonetics racegate. it came with a few diffrent springs. i am controlling it with a greddy profect type s boost controller. the way that i am going to have to mount this biggie on my ka24det will not let me change springs after every thing is mounted. i plan on running as much boost as she will hold

any body got any ideas. if you dont know what you are talking about or you are just making it up, please dont answer. bad info is way worse than no info.

thanks [IMG][/IMG]

Whatever your "daily" boost is, use that spring.

Or if you always want +20psi, use the stiffest one possible and let the EBC do the rest.

Yeah, pretty much what Brian said. The key to picking a spring is to get one that is as close as possible to the amount of boost you want to run everyday. Then use the BC for everything else. I say this because if you want to eventually run 28psi of boost but only install a 5 psi spring, you'll have a leak at high pressure and difficulty reaching a high amount of boost, or alot more lag then usual.

But make sure the motor is ready for whatever boost you're going to throw at it. Welcome to NICO!!
