Do you have an extra 930/931 wastegate spring nearby on hand? Please measure the length of it accurately and maybe other dimension too.

Also report what kind of boost you know or think it produces.

The reason why I start this thread is because I have one spring on my hand at the moment but I have no idea what kind of boost pressure it produces. It is 169-170mm long. (6.65-6.69 inches)

length: 169-170mm / 6.65-6.69 inches
diameter: 68mm / 2.68 inches
boost: I'll tell you and edit it in here when I find out

I have the stock 0,65 bar spring in the car at the moment but I just played with the thought of having 0,8 bar spring (my extra spring). Please measure that spring you have, I'm interested in any information.
