Stiffened WG spring won't necessarily raise max boost pressure.

Default

so then does it keep built up boost from escaping into the atmosphere between shifts?

Default No, it bleeds less exhaust gas through the wastegate downpipe, which causes more boost, sooner.

If you get eon properly matched to your car, i.e. the one 034/Europrice sells, then it won't raise max boost.

Default I was so floored (pun intended) when I put mien in.

I was like "WTF? This can't be right, something must be wrong." and held off going on WOT runs for a fey days. Then, on the first run I did, I blew off on my my intercooler hoses :-) The rest of the runs made me happy.

What engine mods does your S-car have?

Default I think it is just stock,

When i first bought it a year ago I though wow this thing hauls *** it must be chipped. Then Alvin (Ursoccer mobile) brought his chipped 92 S4 by my shop and let me drive it and rained on my parade. All of a sudden my car seemed very slow (thanks Alvin =P) After a couple days I got used to my car again and it did'nt bother me anymore. But the last few months I have been hungering for a little more zip and this was just the ticket.

Default Next thing I should probably do is get new hoses. They look ok but are 10 years old with 104k.

If I proceed down the slippery slope I will need them anyways.
