The spring regulates boost pressure. You can have a 7lb wastegate spring and it will stay at 7lbs. You only need a boost controller is you want to exceed the wastegate pressure.
Well the spring rates dont go according to horsepower. They go by psi. So for a motor making 270hp at the flywheel will need about 9-10psi of boost on a stock internal turbo honda. I belive a .4bar spring is 7psi. So you would need a boost controller to get it up to 10psi.
