Tial doesn't rate the spring pressure on the blow-off valve to what psi you run, rather to what vacuum you pull at idle.


http://www.tialsport.com

Engine Vacuum Reading Use Spring
-22 and -23 in/Hg -12 Psi (-24 in/Hg )
-18 and -21 in/Hg -11 Psi (-22 in/Hg )
-14 and -17 in/Hg -9 Psi (-18 in/Hg )
-10 and -13 in/Hg -7 Psi (-14 in/Hg )

see how many in./hg of vac you're pulling and get the right spring for it...

Look at your boost gauge at idle (assuming it reads in/hg)...use the chart I listed above and make the purchase.

The Tial needs to have a vacuum line from a large vacuum port and the line needs to be high quality and not colapse. I ran one on my turbo Miata and even at 3.5 psi it would blow off clean and crisp......once I installed larger vacuum ports into the intake manny.
