Default Where to buy wastegate spring at

I am running a 35mm Tial Wastegate and it currently has a 8 psi spring in it. I just bought a Greddy Profec B spec 2 controller. Although its not hooked up yet I found out I can only run 16 psi from this controller. Well my car is tuned on 20 so therfore id like to run it at that boost. What other springs are available for my wastegate (psi wise please), and where can I order one from. Id like to get a spring that boost around 10-12 psi.

I may as well get both things out the way. How hard is it to change these springs. Im guessing all I do is remove the bolts that hold it on and do a one for one swap with the springs. I was just wondering if there is anything special that I have to do when swapping springs out. Like always I make a post before I attempt anything on my car. Thank You in advance!!

You can order one from me, but you really don't need another spring. You need another boost controller and it will solve your problems.

It's really easy to change out the springs. Just need an allen wrench. A vise helps but isn't necessary.

like that guy said, keep the orignal spring so you can run low boost when your just cruising/highway and then get a better boost controller that can do up to 20 psi.
