so i have a jdm vf34 spec c turbo running at 18-20 psi on my wrx. the wastegate seems to leak at that much psi so i started looking at the Forge Wastegate (stock location) but they say it only works for the vf34 "gdb" not spec c... is there any way to just tighten the spring or something on the 34's stock wastegate??

 

call Paul@ Dbtuned.. he will help u answer ur question..

Paul@DBtuned although he's kind of far from San Jose.

Your other options are:
GST
SpeedElement
LIC

 

So you are experiencing boost creep?

 

dont forget about kevin at autohq. he knows alot about jdm parts.

 

not boost creep, more like boost leak, if i accelerate from cruising, all my boost flutters out, if i am going wot from a stop, it doesnt leak, so basically when im "bogging" or not in a low enough gear, i think i can hear my wastegate fluttering and letting all my boost out...

 

Has your car been pro tuned or are you running an off the shelf map?

 

i have a spring on my turbo actuator arm

the VF34 wg is garbage !

 

Time to go external wastegate! Might as well, its a better setup overall.

 

thats what i was thinking^^^

 

i think the sound/loudness of an EWG would take away from the clean beautiful burble of my completely catless vf34 wrx... is there any way to tighten the stock wastegate actuator arm or change the spring or something??
