For reference I'm running 7.25 PSI wastegate pressure. You can theoretically run an EBC at double so on a stock block BP kit, you don't really want to run less than a 6PSI spring. Even at 6 PSI, you will need some sort of control, rather it be human or electronic. It can actually be managed pretty well with the throttle once you get used to the car. The kit has a great feel to it and the boost is very predictable.

My setup is far from ideal at the moment. Hankook V12s 305/30/19 at ~-2.5 degrees camber. The plan is to get a camber kit ordered and stuff some 335 RE-11's in there with as little camber as possible. But I'm definitely interested in any other suggestions.
What is your basis for not 'wanting' to run less than 6psi? You got some real data/reasoning to back that up?

My tuner is going to install my manual boost controller and requested that I install the minimum spring that comes with the WG and he'll adjust/tune from there to a level he feels comfortable with. Chuck33079 and I are in agreement that they minimum spring from the table Sasha posted in another thread was around 4.5psi. Is there an actual issue with running that low a spring or is that just your opinion?

My plan was to run that minimum spring for a few weeks, maybe a month or so, on the base map until my tuner can squeeze me in.

Maybe Sasha can chime in, will I have an issue with that?
