Default TiAL MV-R Spring Help!!

Okay, so here's the scoop: My girls RSX is boosted; no ****. Problem is its 15psi allll the ******* time. I want to make it like my Integra's set up with BBG and so forth so she can actually grab some traction and stop roasting off expensive tires.

I took out the WG; TiAL MV-R 44mm gate to find two springs in it. Well, according to TiAL Sport's technical info it should have 3 springs in it; Brown, Maroon, and Grey. I've got a Grey and unknown color (I'm color blind, photo attached.) Now I ordered a 7 PSI spring from ExtremePSI but its Yellow and doesn't fit, so I'm guessing its for the TiAL Q BOV and they sent me the wrong spring because according to TiAL's tech data I should have a Brown and Gold spring.

Mainly, how the $*%K is it running at 15PSI with only two springs???

Its a built K20A Type-S, rods, pistons/valves/retainers, bearings, etc. with a Garrett GT3076R .60 charger, TiAL Q BOV and TiAL MV-R gate... I'm baffled. I do not want to put it back together with A) the wrong spring and, B) not the pressure I'm targeting.

Default Re: TiAL MV-R Spring Help!!

If thats Grey and Maroon it should be 11.60 PSI according to TiAL's tech data... in which case I would just remove the Grey spring, keep the Maroon spring and run at 5.8 PSI but since its running 15PSI on 11.60 combination it'll probably be more like 10PSI >
