Let me be the first to say the 5 psi spring is really good low starting point, you dont have to tweak your fuel map much and as long as you did the install correct your not going to blow your motor. When I first installed my turbo I was wayyyyyy messed up. I tryed my first boosted pull and was leaning out above 18!!!!! all that happened was no power at all it was like hitting a fuel cut at a really low rpm. your also not going to feel much with 3.6 psi honestly even at 5 psi its not nothing fantastic but very noticable. Now 10 psi ohhh yaa

Exact opposite boost controller gives you higher boost the green spring for the forge is 5 psi but with a boost controller you can get 10

sorry im bringing this back up but when getting the 5-10 psi spring, lets say you wanna go up to 11or 12 psi do you need a new spring or does the boost controller compensate for the extra amount of boost?

a boost controller or a high psi spring will work. =)
just go with the spring imo, cheaper.
