I've decided to put a bov on my evo ix and wanted to go with the new tial q. And I noticed different sites had different psi springs which would be best for my set up i'm currently full bolt ons and tune. Thanks

The springs relation is to idle vacuum. If you have a boost gauge measure the idle vacuum in either in/hg or psi.

The springs are rated in psi so you just divide the in/hg by 2 to get the psi value. Essentially you want a spring strong enough to keep the bov closed but only just strong enough so it doesn't take a huge differential in psi to open it when the psi starts spiking.

List of spring pressures:
- 20 and -21 in/Hg Pink -11 Psi (-22 in/Hg )
- 16 and -19 in/Hg Un-painted -10 Psi (-20 in/Hg )
- 12 and -15 in/Hg White -8 Psi (-16 in/Hg )
- 8 and -11 in/Hg Black -6 Psi (-12 in/Hg

What should I get a cat back or a turbo back? I do not want any CEL to be on after I install an exhaust.

A turbo back exhaust won't throw a CEL unless you use a test pipe inbetween your downpipe and cat-back sections. That can easily be fixed with one of these though........

Well not being a local ausie but having bought parts for my edge gokart from there I can tell you that price may be pretty close once money conversion, freight, and tax gets involved.
