IMO the big plusses for the ECU controlled spring are:

1) ECU can shut the boost down as well as adjust timing when knock is 
   detected.
2) Given that you have reverse engineered the code you can set up a 
   map that corresponds to your needs for boost vs. RPM & other inputs,
   kinda like having an automatically adjustable spring.

Since the port on top of the WG is available on all models, my thinking
is that even a Schrapnel Knobben (R) technique is preferrable to a stiffer
spring.  That technique allows cockpit adjustable max boost.
