Default PSI on T3 Turbo

I have a T3 and just got a b16 del sol. I was going to install the turbo kit on it but i know the internal wastegate is set at 10 psi. I dont want to risk the chance of blowing my engine. I heard that with a boost controller you can only set the boost higher not lower than what it is wastegated at.Is that true? What can I do to lower the boost to 7psi? Thanks

Yeah, adjusting the wastegate spring would help. 10 psi shouldnt blow your engine though...you could chain your wastegate open but that would give you jack ---- boost

Just lengthen the actuator rod on the waste gate arm.
