IDK, i like it with and without the wing. Some folks do however say its a pretty big speed restriction at high speed.

another update, the ported turbo is awsome, absolutley no boost creep if i set it at 20 psi it goes 20 psi from 2n gear all the way through 5th with out going over. of course it tapers down around redline. from a roll it never goes over my desired psi in any gear. and the best part is that there is no LAGggGGGGGGGg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Many people run helper springs to keep the gate closed longer but have the issue with the heat from the turbo screwing up the spring. well recently i ported the wastegate in the turbo exhaust housing to get rid of the boost creep on my sti. i only ported the inside as per another how to. i went a little too aggresive with the port to make sure there was no creep and when i put everything back together the car will not reach the target boost, and actually looking back now im glad did.
my theory- porting too much on the inside was blowing the wastegate opened i guess from more exhaust flow to the gate. I removed the wastegate from the car and put the arm on a vice made sure it was tight. i used a rubber mallot to bang down the arm so that it bend the arm a little shorter. with about 3 bangs i shortened the gate about 1mm or so. installed it back in the car and notice how much tighter it was with that slight bend. went for a ride and man the car feels amazing, had to do some fine tuning to fuel and boost maps but it feels amazing. it even holds boost a bit more boost at higher rpms. i figured id post this , im sure im not the only one has done this but i havent seen anything on here but the helper spring mod. car i running 20psi tapers to about 17.5 car hits 20 psi regardless of the gear im in except 1st and 2nd and does not go over that, wether from a roll or a dig. i also still have alot of fuel left so i will be leaining the car a bit more and upping the boost to 21.5 psi
