"Strut Spring into wategate swap"

So I swaped my strut spring into my wategate to get "1,000,000 psi!!!" and man.. Just a tip use a c-clamp or vise or something cause even the 7psi spring has pop to it..


All credit for wording goes to bleach

That is FREAKIN awesome!

I'll have to snap a pic of the turbo on the industrial motor at my friends shop. That waste gate would be a perfect fit!
