Still haven't worked out the weirdness with the wastegate spring but I have a manual boost controller on the way to see if it helps any.
I also lucked out and happened to find a stellar deal but had to postpone paying off the credit card in return. Came across a set of good condition Fikse FM5 classics with hoosier r6 rubber for $900!
The wheels are in great shape but the rubber is probably done for. It's a set of 17x9.5 et23 front and 17x10.5 et15 rear, and a quick test fit determined they are a perfect fit! These wheels and tires are also much, much lighter than the 18's with A048s.
