Default wastegate spring question?

i have a innovative minigate waste gate, i think it's 38mm... and it giving me about 6lbs of boost. i want to up the boost but don't have the money for a boost controller. what spring can i get to up the boost to about 10? my motor is built for it, but it's been tamed.... now i plan on upping the numbers a lil. can i use a different waste gate spring? i've been searching and can't find any innovative waste gate springs. thx for the help H-T!!!!

not sure about the innovative minigate 38mm but i got a tial 38mm and the springs are colored and each color give different psi ranges

but if the springs are the same you want to go with the large yellow spring which gives 10psi/0.7 bar

yeah.

you can just go with a boost controller to up the boost, but make sure you have a boost gauge so you know what psi you're at when you turn it up. and when you do, don't rip on it til you get it tuned.
