Wastegate Spring Question

I'm going with a gt35r and I am wanting to run 15psi but also be able to run 8psi. So I would get the .50bar/7.25psi spring. But my question is, would this spring be allow me to reach 15psi. I don't really understand the mechanics of the spring.

I also run a 35r and a 7 lbs spring. I can hold stable boost up 17 psi.

Yes, with a boost controller you could run 1bar+ on the 8lb spring

I've got some with "a" 6si spring.

Worked great

Key thing to remember is that an EBC will effectively double your spring pressure at its maximum. So if your max planned boost is 15psi, running a 7-8 pound spring and an EBC will allow you to have both options as well as every pressure in-between.

I already have a EBC. So a 6psi spring will only allow me to run 12psi? 8psi spring will allow 16psi?
