Default Sts Wastegate Question

Hello All,
I was wondering about the spring in the wastegate. I am currently running max 8lb from the T67 turbo but want to run more boost (12lb). So the question is what spring am I going to get to go above 8lb?
Thanks in advance

You can get a simple boost controller off of ebay for about 10-12 bucks shipped. Its just a valve that you open or close to set the amount of boost you desire. You will have adjust it several times to get the boost set to where you want it. I have an 8 psi spring and run 12 psi.

If you want to run 12 psi all the time you can get the 12lb. spring from ATP Turbo in Fremont, CA. their number is (510).445.1682 Then you can still get a manual boost controller and with the flip of a switch set the high boost to whatever you want (whatever you're tuned at) Low and high boost is nice, cuz if you lose on low boost you can just flip a switch.
