bought a 46mm waste gate but what spring?

ok well i bought a tial wastegate 46mm but i wanna run 14-16 psi. i am using the blitz sbc boost controller but don't know what spring to get.

these are my options

Available spring pressures: .2Bar (2.90 psi), .3Bar (4.35 psi), .4Bar (5.80 psi), .5Bar (7.25 psi), .6Bar (8.70 psi), .7Bar (10.15 psi), .8Bar (11.60 psi), .9Bar (13.05 psi)

High Pressure available: 1.0Bar (14.50 psi), 1.2Bar (17.40 psi), 1.3Bar (18.85 psi), 1.4Bar (20.30 psi)

i'd get something lower than your total end boost...say around 10psi so that if you wanted to run lower for any reason then you could just disconnect the boost controller...then when you want to go higher, use the boost controller to raise the boost to the level you really want.

I think the way it's supposed to go is get the one that is closest to the minimum amount of boost you want to run. Don't know if this is what teeter was saying or not.

I would get the .7 bar spring. Your boost controller will let you bring the boost up to 15lbs and it will be convenient to be able to run 10 lbs just on spring pressure.
