I think, I'll look back to check.

Hate to say it, but that sounds like the .8 bar spring (12 psi). I'll measure my .4 bar tonight and post its diameter to be sure.

Hey man, I finally remember to measure my .4 bar spring diameter -- it's right at 1 7/8. As I recall the .8 bar was a noticably bigger diameter. I can't check it - its in the wastegate up at the shop

Let us know what you find out with the tune and the new spring.

Here vare the new springs that STS sent me. The red is the same as the one I have now...supposedly, the yellow is the .3 bar good for 3-4psi. I'll be trying them out soon, keep you all posted.
