what kind of ems and boost control are u running? do u want to set up gear based boost? for example if u run a 15 psi spring, then the least boost u will get in first gear is 15 psi so it really depends on your setup.

You shouldn't run more than double the spring rate. I would just get a 13-15lbs spring.

you can thats not right, many people run more than triple, it also allows you to more widely adjust boost
