An APR rep told me there's a 23 pound spring in there. Don't know if that's a fact or not. My car is pushing 26-28psi.
As far as sound, nothing crazy or "ricey". You get a loud "PSHH" when you let off under load. Build quality is nice.

I have them. They're better than stock I guess. Their install orientation is one big fat giant "?". APR doesn't even know how they're supposed to be installed. I think mine are installed correctly.

the spring upgrade, but if you did and felt that helped to push you higher to the 26-28 PSI it's something I might consider. But all in all it was a great upgrade and yes you do hear the "Woosh" sound
of the turbines when backing off after loading.

I have the APR diverter valves as well. My max PSI is around 20 with the APR tune. My question is what tune do you have and did you use the higher pressured spring. I didn't utilize the

Take anything APR says with a grain of salt. You'll never get a straight answer and if you do there's a 50/50 chance it's misinformation. The people who answer questions are customer service reps, not engineers.

I'm running a pro tune via Cobb AP and running the diverter valves out of the box. Didn't do any spring upgrade. My tuner said there shouldn't be an issue with the current spring.

Will keep my diverter valves as is.
