You like it when I say...

¿Te gusta cuando yo digo "mi", ey?

You like it when I say "my," eh?

Is that a correct translation? I didn't know if I should stay in the present tense for both or if the phrase needed to be another tense.

The translation is correct, but I'm not so sure the last part would be universally understood like it is in English.

Thanks. That was my wife's quote to me, but I wasn't sure if it was right. This was after I corrected her for calling it "mi casa" and not "nuestra casa" haha.

Why "ey" = "eh" ?

I think that with "eh" it can be ok in Spanish, but "ey" it's a way for adressing someone, "¡ey, tú!

Not sure. You would have to ask my wife =)

I always use "eh?"

Well...
Julio Iglesias had an album named, "Hey", right?

Oxford Superlex gives,
hey interj
a (calling attention) ¡eh!; hey, mister! can you tell us the time, please? = ¡eh or oiga, señor! ¿nos puede decir la hora por favor?
b (expressing dismay, protest, indignation) ¡oye!; hey, that’s enough! = ¡oye (or oigan etc) basta ya!;
(expressing surprise, appreciation): I’ve got a job — hey, that’s really great! = conseguí trabajo — ¡pero qué bien!; I live near the university — hey, we’re neighbors! = vivo cerca de la universidad — ¡pues mira, somos vecinos!

¿Que les parece eso? ¿Eh?

In this case it would "ah"

Nosotros en Chile lo usamos mucho.

Bueno, en España el "ah" no lo usamos para preguntar, como el "¿eh?" o un "¿mmh?" interesado para alentar a alguien para que siga hablando...

El "ah" lo usamos como "sorpresa" como "ahora caigo" "ah, ahora entiendo"...
