Default 1.8 bar wastegate spring

Is there a way to get it for cheap somewhere ? I want to boost my car, but is $38 for a wastegate spring a bit expensive ?

Default Re: 1.8 bar wastegate spring

Don't waste your money on just a spring...

Get a QLCC chip and spring for under $80...

If you're going to boost your car, do it the right way with a modified chip that has timing, etc redone...

The QLCC chip is worth every penny...

Steve Jensen can tell you more about the QLCC chip and give you Ben's contact info...

Stephen,

I want to chip some cars. Let's say I have access to an eprom burner, which parts should I buy ? Which blank eproms ? Do I need a socket as well ?

Where to get the spring separately ?

Thanks

Default I thinks its a lot more complicated then that...

You are going to need the correct software and understand how it works to make your own chips.

Its like flashing a computers BIOS eprom. Once you have the code, you can duplicate it many many times...

I know I know, and believe me I have been looking, but everybody wants way more than I am willing to spend, I know a deal will come along if I am patient enough, and I am.

As a reminder, I paid only $1300CDN for my car, and I guess I put another $1000CDN in parts to bring it up to snuff.

So that's the kind of deal I am holding out for.

Cheers

I can do it. Or my engineer friend can. What I would love to know is: what part numbers ? etc. ie. which eprom, which socket ?
