I'd like to know too. If i got a boost controller would I need to change the springs or would i even need a spring to boost from 6-12 psi?

The spring size will regulate your minimum boost pressure. The boost controller will be used to increase and decrease boost pressure (not lower than what's regulated by the spring).
