I purchased a used R85 for my FD. I opened up the wastegate and the spring has no color on it. I emailed the seller, and he said it was the one that came with the kit. It's a tial sport. The pic for the R85 on this site isn't a tial sport. Does the kit come with tial sport wastegate unstead of the one in the pic. What spring rates does it come with?

The one pictured is from when TiAL was still making a 40mm WG, so the one pictured IS a Tial wastegate. You just may not recognize it as one...

We offered it with the 44mm V-band when Tial eliminated the 40mm (pictued) as well as with a 46mm. It is hard to say what spring you have as there was a choice when ordering the kit. The "majority" of them went out with .8 Bar Springs. This was the standard spring unless otherwise specified. What spring was put in after it was shipped is anyones guess.
There is NO trace of a painted color on ANY portion of the spring?
