Spring pressure is the lowest boost you can run with any type of controller. If you are planning on running different boost levels, you need to make sure the tune is set at those levels, do not think because it does not ping at 15 psi that it will not ping with 12 psi unless it has been tuned at first 12 and then 15, there is no rpm wire, you also have to buy a tach adaptor.
