Whats that website about modifying your TB03?

I remember there was a site or a link of some sort to a page where this guy put a spring mechanism on his Garrett TB03 (stock turbo) so he could manually adjust the wastegate pressure. Who else has seen this? I remember seeing it a looong time ago and I just can't find it!

just use a regular spring that takes like 2-3 pounds to pull apart, I used a throttle return spring on the wastegate to up the boost in my old 88.

for when your too cheap to buy an aftermarket ECU and injectors first, buy a big turbo and mod it to lower the PSI, because your otherwise stock motor can't handle it.. all whopping 15psi of it....

^^^ Then you probably should have specified that in your first post, and this should have been posted in the 280zx section.

Lots of cars use TB03's....
