Default Simple wastegate and bov ?

Guys with twin wastegates and a bov, I want to run 6 pounds on low boost and 10 pounds on high boost, so would I run a 6 pound spring on the wastegates, and a 10 pound on the blow off vavle? Thank you

No, that’s not how it works at all. Blowoff valves don’t regulate boost, they blowoff charge tube pressure when the throttle snaps shut in order to stop turbo flutter. If you want two boost settings you’ll need a boost controller

Thanks I did a little more research, Bov spring depends on vacuum psi, and yes I knew I needed a boost controller and thanks for the advice.
