I think it's about 6 psi if it's the "small" spring and about 11.5 if it's the "large" spring

SSAC told me their green spring is 9psi in an email a month ago.

this was for the 40mm wastegate. i think they may use different spring colors for the different mm sizes

That's called the mad niggrish spring.

It's set for as much psi as you want, given that you concentrate hard enough and really want that psi.
