Your Air/Fuel ratio will be jacked up and you'd risk destroying what you just spent all that money on. Doesn't make sense not to tune it. I think you'd have to change your ECU too, probably obd1 with MPFI instead of obd0 and DPFI. The computer stuff is the reason my current Civic is still unboosted.

Let me rephrase
If you have an 8lb spring in your wastegate you can not set your boost controller to 4lbs. If you want to achieve 4lbs...then you need a 3lb spring. Your spring has to be lower then your lbs you want to make.
