I know i was warned so lets get that out of the way... But after i put in the barbed fitting in the bottom port on it i blew in it and its leaking out of the very bottom of the body where the plunger comes out. I can get a pic if needed. but is this normal. I wouldnt think so.

Im trying but they said i have to take it up with spa because its under warranty or something. I left two message's with spa and i still havnt gotten a call back. I will have to talk with William at cfm again.

What spring would be best with my EBC? Not really wanting to run much boost right now.

thats BS.... i love cfm i have bought aot of parts from them , they have great customer service and everything..but they should be able to help you out... if they sell SPA products, they should be able to replace your WG, and they should take it up with spa without wasting your time....

I have bought a lot from them also and so far until now i havnt had any complaints. I still dont im just going to have to talk to them again. It was about closing time on friday when i did so.... I have sent them a message on here last night but no response yet.

Im probably going to go with the evo but what # spring should i get with it? Around half the boost im wanting to run?

I've read that you don't want run more than double the boost your spring is rated for. I've got an SPA wastegate. No problems so far. But I will go with the EVO as soon as funds allow me too. GL

Even if im not going to be running that high of boost right now? Im still on the stock clutch and i was only thinking of running 8-9 psi. I didnt know if i should get one thats rated for where im going to running at or lower because of the EBC.
