dont worry about the intercooler droping boost, just get a ten psi spring and run it, who cares if its not exactly 10 psi.

most of the time the spring ur running will put out a half of a pound to 1 full pound or boost more than it is supposed any how. so if u run a 10 pound spring u will probably see anywhere from 10 to 11 psi of boost. just run the .7 bar spring, it will work fine.
