Turbonetics External Wastgate

One of my friends told me i could change out the spring in my wastegate for a different one and it would increase the boost i was just wondering if anyone else had heard this or if anyone knew where i could get one........

You can, but a boost controller is a lot better option, be it manual or electronic.

Because a boost controller will allow you to find tune your boost curve (electronic boost controller anyway) without messing with changing springs. The springs have only a very narrow range. The boost controller will go right up from min boost (set by the spring) to as high as the turbo will allow.
