Yeah, this is also what I have seen: 2 clicks = 1 psi

There is no set increment, however, so it will take some trial and error to dial in specifically to your car.

How high can we get the boost with the delivered softer spring? I was seeing ~18-19psi in 3rd and I was going to knock it up a bit and I found I was at the max!

I'm thinking I need to switch to the stiffer one and back it way down.

There is no set number for that either.

Your range of adjustment will be based on the base spring pressure of the wastegate actuator or external wastegate you are currently using. Stock, ours, FP, Buschur, etc., or even an external wastegate.

Even if you have a stock actuator, it could be adjusted differently from your buddy's car.

It's all trial and error.

First, run the car on just wastegate pressure. Adjust and dial in the wastegate if necessary.
Then add the boost controller and make your adjustments until you reach your desired boost level..
