1. Avoid low and high boost. There is no benefit, don't want boost, remove right foot from loud pedal.
2. For the boost levels you have mentioned, I doubt there would be any gains by swapping the waste gate actuator.
3. What turbo will determine the best spring, so post that up please.

this was mine running 24psi with a vf37

jdm 207 didn't like it though resulting in the piston skirt letting go & throwing a rod through the block, damm hypercrap pistons

I personally wouldn't recommend anymore than 22psi with a vf37 on stock jdm 207 bottom end, this is about what burke & russ are running with reliable results
