I have 4 diffrent springs,and i need to drop down to the lowerest spring i have for now.I noticed the coils on the springs are diffrent thickness or diameters.So the spring that is the smallest is the low PSI?So the yellow spring pictured here would be close to 5PSI peace

It looks like the yellow spring is smaller ID, usually that is the spring added inside on of the others to increase poundage.

Who's wastegate is it? Tial list all the springs on their site

Mine has a 5 lb spring but like Rick said, I think the yellow is a helper spring too. I would try to contact the manufacture to be sure though.
