To everybody who has opened their forge wga. Is the blue cap supposed to be stock to the metal piston or separated?
I've recently had spiking issues where the boost would hold at 4-5psi and spike anywhere to 9-14psi (forge thinks this is an artifact...)

that blue cap on the top is what I've been talking about. It's threaded on, so it unscrews.
Thanks, But I was asking if the metal piston is stuck onto the big blue cap or not. On topher's pics its together where as on my its apart.

So all these springs come included when u buy the forge wastegate @ PG
if not how much is each spring?
it only comes with the green spring...i want to say it's around $15 for a different spring.
fwiw, i'm replacing my new forge...it does not hold boost well at all...the turbo will spool-up just fine and at around 4500 rpm's, the boost starts to drop. the WGA is fed off of the turbo housing, so i know i have a reliable source.
this was the response i was given from forge about my problem:
With just a constant pressure source acting on the actuator, it will respond directly to changes in pressure immediately as generated by the turbo based on various ambient conditions and load levels.
You may wish to manually adjust the pre-load of the actuator, but also, incorporating some sort of manual boost control (mechanical or electronic) will undoubtedly allow you to dial in your target pressure much more affectively

What are you using as a BOV? maybe your losing your pressure there. The forge unit is warrantied though.
FWIW. I have the issue solved and have been running constant 6 psi with my Forge on the GT28RS for a couple months now.

HKS SSQV. i know there have been a few people who have had the same problem. I pm'd terbow about this because he had the same problem i am having...his went away once he put on a new WGA...i shouldn't be losing pressure...all of my connections are very secure...i never disconnected anything other than the BOV and WGA when i took all that crap out...i did install a vacuum block, but i made sure that there wouldn't be any leaks there either. i plan on ordering the atp sometime this week and giving that a go...if the atp works, it was the WGA...if not, i'll be searching for a vac. leak.
how did you resolve your issue?

My issue was that I couldn't get the boost down... Ken ordered me new springs thinking we had the wrong spring installed, didn't work....I ended up opening the cover and realized that the blue spring cap screws on adding more tension to the spring. I loosened it up and bolted the cap back on. boost was down to a normal 6 psi.

I thought Forge had a lifetime warranty?
i'm sure they do...but i want to PROVE that it is the WGA without jumping through hoops...i've read where forge has asked people to try a different vac. source for their wga's...i know i have the best source...and the whole 'atmospheric pressures' thing is crap, imo.
