Default should i change the base spring in my setup?

most of you know the car from last year, leaving at 8200 on the 2 step with no antilag. this year i will have antilag and 13" wheels. my question is i have a .9 bar spring and with the gate hooked to the compressor housing, the lowest i have seen is 15-16 psi. is this ok to launch at with the t3t67ho on an 83mm gsr? or should i lower the base and have the option to increase launch boost? plan on running as much boost up top as the turbo will make. thanks in advance.

no you dont pour beer on it, you fill the wastegates with beer to increase pressure.


i just put smaller springs in my wastegates. im taking them out and putting the 15psi springs back in it.
