in relation to the spring rate in a wastegate,

can someone point out to me the conversion between lb and psi?

for instance if someone tells me they have a 8lb spring in their wastegate, how much psi does that equate?

 

pound = pound
psi means pounds per square inch
8 pounds = 8 psi

 

I think they're the same psi =pounds per squared inch.

 

You mean to tell me 1=1?

 

So if you have an 8lbs spring. How much boost should you be able to run? Correct me if I am wrong but the Greddy comes with an 8lbs spring in the wastegate correct?

 

on me.

running 7 psi on a 8 psi spring sounds impossible now....
