    [:$] my guage seems to read just below 1.4 bar so thats about er 20psi errr[:$]

    Better order a softer spring for the wastegate actuator then, the one that stealth supplied wont fit the actuator looks like its for a d/v or smnthn

    the spring will probably b for a external wastegate. your actuator should be good for 1.6bar.
