Forge Unos stiff spring min. boost?
I am asking this here because Evo owners seem to have the most experience with this boost controller.
I have a Forge Unos. It is not on my Evo. The car has a 15 lb wastegate spring. I want adjustability between 15-30 lbs (car makes 336 hp at 15 psi, 397 at 20 psi, turbo still has plenty left in it, changing wastegate springs is a pain in the butt).
I've searched all over and can find what the ranges for the soft spring are, but I would like to know what is the average boost people see with the Unos stiff spring at the lowest setting? Will I have to switch springs to go back to 15 psi?
Please don't tell me that "every car is different", I know this, I just want raw data to think about. What is the lowest you have seen with the stiff spring?

If you have the stiff spring, you won't be able to go down as low as 15 assuming that your 15lb WG spring only allows a minimum of 15psi. If you use the soft spring, you can't make it up to 30. There aren't exact numbers, but it's 0-8 or so on the soft, and maybe 6-20ish on the stiff (numbers are PSI above WG pressure).

Thanks guys. I guess this isn't the boost controller I need, but since I have it I'll use it. At least changing the boost controller spring is easy, I'll keep the soft one for most uses and the stiffy for the race gas/dragstrip runs. Too bad 15lb is the weakest spring I can get for the WG.
