FRx fuel return - which spring ??

have all my new parts in to rebuild my fuel bowl, the new T-500 HPOP, and an FRx return setup.

Question is, which spring to use - medium or heavy for full pressure ?? I'm running a stock wheel, ported ATS compressor housing, 1.0 ATS exhaust housing, non EBPV pedestal, and turbonetics big exhaust flange for my turbo, stock injectors, 6637 air, DP tuner.

Will one spring pressure be better than the other ??

I believe most are using the gold spring for medium pressure

I just installed my FRx a week or so ago, I could not differentiate the silver from the gold spring, guess I am getting old, so I installed the one I thought looked more silver; anyway hooked up a fuel pressure gauge and I am idling at 60 psi. Seems to runs good. Not sure what a + or - psi would make.

I used the gold spring also & I doubt very much that I would have noticed any difference if I would have used the silver or black. I'm holding 62psi fuel press
