I would flame you but it's saturday and Im nice on Saturdays. The best way t5o answer your questions would be to do a little research to have an idea of what you want to do. Set goals and that makes life easier too. Froam Tail you can pick which wastegate spring you want....(PSI)

A "fuel raiser"- fuel managment.Hondata, aem speedpro.

with a 7psi spring, you can make at least 7psi of pressure, right?

how much pressure is the most you can make with a 7psi spring? I guess with the wastegate you can adjust the pressure manually but I'm not sure.

If you attach a Boost Controller for switching between Hi and Lo pressure settings, how does this work together with hondata? do you have to to tune fuel maps for the Lo as well as for the Hi pressure?

thanks

Why would you possibly think all shops set wastegates to 7 psi regardless of application? No, they dont.

Can we start a FAQ thread and sticky it to the top?

You can get spring settings at various pressure levels, not just 7psi. The main thing is that with an example of a 11 psi spring....the WG will allow the turbo to boost up to around 11psi. You can modify this boost pressure with a boost controller (electric or manual) and get more pressure from the same spring....but not less.
If you want less boost than the spring is initially set for you need to install a different rates spring (lower).

.......which you would have found with some research
