Forge, I still get taper, but I only have the 17-18 lbs spring, I may change it, but the boost is much more controlled, less spiking and the curve is very flat.

I search about this question myself, and I came up with different results.
I ask Warrtalon he told me it's not gonna help since the stock turbo does not flow enough. But then my question is why FP will sell anything like this to help the boost tapering issue?

In my case it did help, im on the stock wga spring, and the taper/spike is 90%better, my last log I held 18.5 psi at 7200 rpm, and the boost does not spike, like stock wga, I am still playing with the adjustment, but my stock WGA tightened down would spike to 25 psi and taper immediately and continue downward to around 15psi. now the turbo spools and does not spike at all, I hit 20psi in 4th around 3200 rpm, peak at 22by 3500 and hold 22 all the wat till around 6500-6600 rpm where the taper starts. I am also at higher elevation which may affect my taper. But my boost curve is very very flat now.

i say go with forge i have the older model forge wga and i run 30+ psi at times with no issues however the red spring they sell only is good for 20-24 psi witch i tapper to 23 at 7400rpm it works very well with no issues so far it works pretty well i would recommend this to anyone who wants to hold more boost iin the higher rpm range. we have many units instock with the red springs and the new updated model compared to mine.

i have the forge unit...

it clearly holds boost much better... the spike is minimum and from ~3200rpm it keeps 1.5-2psi more bost than the stock unit. Eventually it taper to around ~18psi on the very top end but anything in between is flatter and higher!
