In 1982 WEGA moved from Grenoble to the University of Stuttgart in Germany.
Unfortunately in Stuttgart it seems that WEGA was not used much.
There is not a lot of information from this time and it is very difficult to see what results came out of this 18-year time period.
The issues seem to be a lack of enough heating power and cooling.
However, IPF did have the stellarator vacuum vessel installed and some of the first magnetic flux surface measurements were performed.
