I have upgraded Waste Gates. I see no difference in this unless mine just needs adjusted. Does adjusting them cure this?

when I talked to evoms, they told me that their wastegates need to be adjusted based on the car's setup.

so why the factory k24s wastegates cant work?
i thought they make them adjustable to ingrease the boost.
i just put the k24s on and show up to 1.2 some times without adjust the wastegates.

Stock springs release boost (pressure) before they need to...over safe. Thus not very efficient in using power...get the upgraded springs!

just FYI before I changed to the evo WG I checked my stock k24 wg. In the stock setting the wg started to crack open at 7 psi (.5 bar) with the evo the movement starts at 12 psi..
