'fairly airtight' is fine if running with uppermost chamber at ambient pressure... but if using funky WGFV topology that applies control pressure to the uppermost chamber then its bad news - as control pressure might be leaking past the frankenthreads. Only way to be sure is vacuum applied to upper control port - if its airtight then you are good.Paul Nugent

I will not be fitting locktite as i want to be able to fiddle with the spring a bit.
Here the setup. Its a large screw and nut, which are very tightly bolted. For the piece of mind but also a small test, i will add some PTFE tape that i have there to see if im going to have any higher boost or any spikes there. If i am loosing boost pressure, then with VEMS all i would get is a spike,as the PID config, will eventually push the N75 to reach the target boost. I will let you know once i have logs and tests done.

The hoses and tolerances are so small in there, that the leak isn't going to do much at all, even if it's there.
I mean, I am all for everything working properly, but it's not really going to leak enough to make a huge difference.

I ran it on my old 90 Quattro B2 it ran 14psi on a pressure relief valve. So had no wastegate creep at all and boosted 14psi from about 2000rpm to 6000 approx before the turbo ran out of power.
It was good on AFR
And I did not have any bad effect but people say it is not good to do
