wastegate adjustments?

i know nothing about external wastegates but am realy considering getting one. im thinking about getting the turbonetics evolution or the tial f38 or v44. i was on the tial website and theres a bunch of different springs and i dont know which option to get!!! i hit 40 psi and non of the springs are rated to 40psi! what do i need to run a efficient external wastegate? and how do i adjust them?

You can use an air compressor regulator.

Can't you just use a couple of the tial wastegate springs to get the psi you want?

Thanks, looks like you use two springs to get to the number you're needing.

Not sure how you would get to 40 psi using these springs, you'll probably have to call them.

hahahahaha im an idiot!!! i dont even want to say how many times ive looked at that chart and never thought to read the "small print" thats actually not small at all. so i guess i just add whatever springs together to get the desired release for the gate! perfect thanks for making me feel like an idiot! just kidding thanks for pointing it out!
