Default 12psi stock b16a?

I am putting a turbo on my stock b16a and the spring that is in the tial wastegate is the big red one, and i read that that is around 12psi or .8 bar. Is this too much to run on a b16a? I have a c5 at AEBS getting sleeved right now, but want to put this on for fun.

You cant go under the spring, only over.

Yeah I know I can't go under the spring. I have Hondata and am having Anthony from AV-engineered tune it. I hope it works out ok, but where can I get a smaller spring just in case?
