Default Wastegate spring question

I have a turbonetics evo wastegate 38mm
Its adjustable and came with the 9psi spring inside
Also came with 7psi spring

I want to run about 8psi
Would I want to use the 9 or 7 and adjust it?

why not just run the 9? it is only 1 psi, not really going to make or break you.

Yeah, i'd have to agree. Just go one extra, little more hp won't hurt you, especially 1psi lol

If you really want to run exactly 8psig, for whatever reason, you can use the 7psig spring and adjust the preload slightly.
