I swapped the springs in my TurboSmart EWG last night. My EWG is right on top so it was fairly easy to do without even removing single thing. It was just tedious trying to hold pressure on the top of the EWG and turn the spanner wrench in the tight space. Getting it back on was even more of a challenge. Two people would have made it a lot easier, but I was able to get it done myself. Here are some photos:



I switched from a Pink outer and Purple inner spring setup. This is "14psi" according to TurboSmart, but it did around 20-22psi on my setup. The new springs are Blue Outer and Red inner. They are rated at 21psi by TurboSmart. Once I got them in I did some pulls and was hitting 29psi on spring pressure! This is just about perfect for my setup. I'll probably throw the MBC back on to get a little more boost sometime.

Here's a photo of the vacuum line setup for spring pressure. Very short line!
