Wastegate Spring

Quick question: while discussing possible performance upgrades with a farmer/farm mechanic friend of mine, he said (after installing a boost guage & pyrometer) to just put in a stiffer wastegate spring and "trick" the turbo and that should do it. Will this work? Good idea or bad? He didn't really elaborate. Can anyone describe the effects?
