Default Which wastegate actuator? DSM and Honda guys..

Ok, my friend bought a small 16g for his prelude, he was wondering if he could buy a smaller, I guess you could say, wastegate that doesn't boost past like 9psi. I have no idea since it's internally wastegated...does anyone know where he could buy a actuator or what he can do to limit the boost?

a boost controller won't let you lower the boost below the wastegate spring pressure

you need a diff wastegate spring

you can buy actuators for garrett turbos down to 5psi, but you'll need to do a bit of fabricating to mount them to a mitsu comp. housing.
