im on blue as ive not changed back to yellow/green, whats the difference? i thought it was onyl a problem if your running higher boost and a weak spring,, not the other way round.

too stiff a spring like blue and the DV wont open properly...
you need a DV which has enough spring pressure to seal, but is as easy to open (fast) as possible.

I have tested a gree spring for leak to 22psi when I heard the faintest of hisssss, like you would never feel in real driving terms.

not necessarily, ive been running a yellow spring for a year and a half remapped and non remapped, makes bugger all difference to a green really so not worth the effort to change.

So with a REVO or Jabba generic remap is it right that you should change to a Yellow spring?

I've run both the Yellow and Green on my REVO Audi A3 1.8T (150bhp Stock so comparable to a Beeza). Couldn't tell the differance between them on the road but had the Green one in for my RR run and it made 192bhp/218lb_ft and didn't appear to be bleeding boost in the slightest. So no need for the yellow one IMO.
