Having had my own troubles with over boosting and knowing that the wastegate cap appeared to be an adjustable one, I searched through my spares to find a 20V one.
Having eliminated one cap as a 10V one, I used what I thought was a 20V with an original 20V spring. Having fitted the cap and spring, the car demonstrated the standard boost characteristics so I was satisfied.
However subsequently, I have advised Andy P and indeed declined to buy a wastegate cap from add on the basis that the one I used was a 20V one. That was not the case. So apologises to both!
So if you need to ID a 20V one then see the pics below. Indeed the 20V is in effect adjustable with a seperate perch. The dimension of the spring perch to the bottom of the wastegate cap is @18mm if you need to get back to stock (At least on an AAN!).
The screw is obviously sealed so you would need to remove the seal from the top and possibly heat the sealant to break the seal to release the adjustment screw. Hey Presto! An adjustable wastegate!
