Default internal wastegate springs?

is there anywhere to buy a universal wastegate spring that you can install in a factor internal wastegate to set it at a certain baseline boost setting?

there was a leak in my previous turbo setup so i never had enough pressure to open the wastegate ive got now. and when i got it the seller said it was stock set at 10psi but im not sure i trust his word.

so i wanna get like a 5psi spring and go from there.

I have never seen anything like that for sale, your best bet is to get a 300zx (1g) turbo wastegate actuator, they are set at 5.5psi and then just fabricate something together.

I had the same question, and found these -

How does one go about cracking open the actuator to install one of these?
Its for my Pulsar T28 with a 10.5 psi spring.

I've also seen someone crack open the vacuum canister on these and cut a coil off the spring thats already in it. not the best way to go if you ask me, but I guess it got the job done.
