figure out what the minimum psi that you want to run is. if you ever want to turn down the boost, the lowest setting you could go would be that of the spring.

so say someone wants to run 10psi, but they may want to drop it down to 7psi or so for just normal driving. in this case, you would want a 7psi spring. with a boost controller you can always turn up the boost, but you cant turn the boost below the spring setting of the wastegate. just keep that in mind when choosing a spring
