Default blow off valve question

im running a tial 50mm blow off valve on my procharger setup and it stays open at idle and part throttle

im running the pink 3psi spring that everyone says to run, do i need to find out what kinda vacuum im pulling and get a different spring or is this the way it should be?
maybe the 6psi?

Glad to hear I am a nobody!!!! HAH. Mine was doing that but at idle I am making no boost and it was drawing unfiltered air in at idle. I was afraid It was holding open running down the road when I was cruising and my manifold vacuum was low enough to hold it open, causing unfiltered air to come in. But I have no way of knowing if it was sucking or blowing going down the road, so I resprung mine and now it stays shut until I let off the throttle. I guess that is the difference between a supercharged blow off and a turbo charged blow off.
