boost spring install
With all the talk about running too much boost, i'm ready to downgrade to a lower rated spring on my 88 930 turbo. Is it possible to install the new spring myself or is this best left to a shop? The directions that came with the spring seem to indicate that compressing it as part of the installation process can be rather dangerous. Thanks!

As you can tell by the sizer of the spring it does not compress that easy. there are several ways to do this and be safe. I have liked the strap idea the best. That way you can let the pressure off slowly. There are several post on this do a search on boost sping and I even believe someone too the time to take pictures. I think it was emission but am not sure.
Good luck. ps. I am considering the electrical boost thing. It lets you dial in what you want.. so you can run around town most of the time with.7 but when your feeling really frisky...1.0 wheeeeeeeeeeeee

I just upgraded to the 1 bar spring. It is not too bad to do the job. Mount the wastegate in a firmly mounted vice. Loosen and remove 3 of the 6 nuts. Then get a helper to remove the rest while you are holding the cover on. I think there is about 150 lbs of pressure on the spring. So it is fairly hard to do.
