I think so. I'm trying to understand the function of the Spring setting or otherwise known as the crack setting. I think it's causing my boost to spool slowly.

As I recall Spr setting is to be your wastegate spring rate - so for my 1 bar spring tial38 wastegate - AME spr set to 15 psi.

Thanks for responding. What do you have max boost set at and what RPM do you see full boost?

I have max set at 18psi....

However - most of the time I actually run with it off and default to 1bar - as determined by wg spring.
For my setup (Vitesse stage3) that is about the safe max for pump gas.

I tried 20psi at Bonneville with the stock k26 and altitude, turbo would not do it........ turbo was the limiting factor i believe. No matter what settings it would peak about 14-15 and fall off to about 12 at the top (6000rpm).

It has been a while but I believe I see peak boost in the 3700-3900rpm range for VR stage3, and I honestly don't recall for the K26 setup..... seems a little sooner, but fell off very early
