Spring is optional...never had one myself. You can just lock the wastegate arm to the turbo housing and lock it closed. Your choice.

I would rule out the boost leak guess. Like CTDNUT said, you have more than enough boost exceeding the stock setting to cause any problems. Now if you were down around 14-15psi then yeah, you'd have a boost leak for sure!
I guess I'm still not seeing how the truck is pushing the 25-26 psi boost numbers without having something done to the wastegate...........after 20psi it throws a code and starts de-fueling right??? What kind of boost gauge do you have and where is it ported in at?
CTDNUT also said something about the possibility of maybe the ECM screwing with the timing, but I would rule that out now knowing that your truck doesn't smoke much.............if it smoked A LOT then that would be an excellent idea!!!!!
And as suggested above, how far down into your manifold is your probe?? If they are threaded in to far it usually makes them read funny.........not sure HOW funny but it's worth a shot to check it out.
