Stay away from the Blue Spring. Actually I used the Yellow spring at first since I am chipped/Revo Tuned, 42DD DP, Blue Flame, and a few other mods. But with the Yellow spring I actually lost performance. I switched back to the Green Spring with 2 shims and the car runs 100% better and holds boost fine with much faster response time.

A tougher spring isn't always better. Try the Green Spring with 2 shims and see how that works for you.
Tried Green and Two, and have to say: I'm surprised at how much of an improvement it makes. Much quicker response time, and good for +2 lbs of boost. Thanks for the heads up, and am also pleased with the 007 enabeling me to make the adjustment.

Not all cars are the same. The spring rates will still be differnt with green +2 shims vs yellow spring.

I am also running the magical green spring/2 shim combo with great results. The yellow spring definitely responded very slowly. BTW, I'm APR chipped.

If you are having problems holding stock boost, then you can use a shim or 2. But if you dont, dont change.

Then that is NOT stock boost like you said. You have a chip or diode then. If you are still using a green spring, a shim or two may be needed

If you are holding at 18psi stock or chipped, I wouldn't change a thing.

180 = 11psi
225 = 1bar

Not going to hit 18psi on either of those.
