it looks like .5 and .6 bar are my only choices....what is everyone doing to run 8psi? is it a boost controller or are they running .6 bar and ref off the turbo and guessing that it will drop down to around 8# after the IC and pipe?

I would be willing to trade you for it. I have a small blue spring which is rated at 0.6 bar (8.7 psi) and I am looking for a softer one.
