wastegate operation

Does the spring that opens the wastegate work off of exhaust pressure or boost pressure? Thank you.

Do the external wastegates come in different sizes or is it a one size fits all kind of thing? I am trying to put one on my centrifugal supercharged cobra and there isn't much information out there on this subject.
