What is the lowest pre load i should use?
Im trying to turn down my wga's preload so i can use my ebc to control boost. What is the lowest preload i can go with safely on your agp wga?

The lowest boost you'll be able to run is around 14psi.

I thought the kit came with two wga springs, one 10lbs and one 14lbs?

He is talking about a WGA for a stock turbo, not a external wastegate for a large turbo kit.

If your boosting 10 lbs on the AGP WGA then either your gauge iss off or you have a good boost leak.The lwest I can set my Dtecfcbc is 14 pounds in first gear.The lowest you can run is the spring rate of the spring in the WGA which is a 14 lb spring in the original WGA.I believe the upgraded spring is 18 lbs? Its a give and take between the two springs.Either run the weaker spring for lower boost in lower gears for more traction and hold less boost too redline and have a little turbo surge or flutter or put the 18 lb spring in and have more boost in lower gears and pedal it and hold more boost too redline and have no or less surge?
