Default Are tial and turbosmart wastegate springs the same?

i have a 9 psi spring for my turbosmart wastegate and i want to put in a 10 psi spring. I have read in some places that they are the same spring and other places that they are different. Does anyone know the answer?

If you dont mind me asking.........why do you want a 10psi over a 9psi spring?

I sure hope Turbosmart has gotten better at their wastegates. Back in the day I had many a problem with them failing. Don't they offer a 10 psi spring?

Get a cheap MBC and that way you can boost to whatever psi you wish and have the benefit of the turbo spooling better.

I just got a Forge Boost Controller off ebay for 85 shipped. Just install that and you can run more boost.
