My car has the ATR wastegate and downpipe and is also equipped with an aftermarket bleeder valve of some sort. I want to remove the bleeder valve at least temporarily while trying to correct a bad turbo lag problem. I have two questions:
1: the hose that goes in to the top of the wastegate goes into a small fitting with a hose nipple on it. The other wastegates i've seen have a fitting with kind of a mesh insert in it. Is this a simple vent that I can leave open when I diconnect the hose? or do I have to get that little mesh fitting from somewhere?
2: How much can you or should you adjust the wastegate before having to install a different spring? I was told when I bought it that it has an 18 lb. spring in it now.
thanks.
