Default Wastegate Spring Identification

I purchased a 38mm Turbosmart Ultragate off off a local forum and it came with three springs that I'm having a hard time identifying them. I found the matrix on their site but the colors don't correspond very well. If anyone has any documentation or way to identify these then that would SO helpful.

Spring 1:
36.5 mm OD
55 mm long
~3 mm thick wire
White stripe
Can't distinguish between pink and white in pressure

Spring 2:
44 mm OD
78 mm long
~3 mm thick wire
Blue stripe
Hardest to compress

Spring 3:
44 mm OD
72 mm long
~3 mm thick wire
Pink stripe
Can't distinguish between pink and white in pressure

I believe they are all the same. Do not quote me on that though.

None of those really match up with my description and the way they mark the springs don't look the same either. I've found both of those documents before and neither matches. I've searched around quite a bit and that's why I'm asking for someone with some experience.

Did you click on the chart on the link to jscspeed.com? In the middle of the page.

I finally got a response to my email from before I created this thread. In case this issue arises in the future, the white spring is a 7 psi INNER. The blue spring is a 10 psi OUTER. The "pink" spring is actually a purple 7 psi OUTER. Thanks for the responses!

Yea, I looked at the full chart on their site but from what you gave me I couldn't figure it out.

I figured it was an inner/outer stacked combo, but some of the springs you indicated made me think they wouldnt even work with the smaller gates, since the full chart has them separated by size
