62701, people w/ type-s - what did you adjust it to
Posted by 97eclipseRS, Dec-25-03 09:41 AM
just installed mine and it blows off nice, but flutters after. no compressor surge as far as i can hear. i didn't make any adjustments to the screw. wondering what adjustments (# of turns) people have made if any. i'm running 5 psi

I don't really recall how many turns mine are, but I'm also boosting ~15psi. I don't think you will need more than a couple of turns (from the softest end) for 5 psi. The best way to tune the car to your setup is to just keep turning down the tension by about a 1/2 turn and take a pull. Keep repeating the procedure until the bov doesn't flutter anymore.

it could be because you are running low boost. maybe im completely clueless. any other thoughts?

this is how i did mine.. and it worked good..

i would hold the revs to 4k, then feel the bov.. i felt air coming out a lot
i was like well shit.. so you set it allt he way to hard

then turn to soft, when you feel air coming out I would drop the revs and just turn it like 3 more to the hardest

then bolt it down

it worked well for me.. the car felt much better at 6lbs un tuned.. but it feels much better at 10.5 tuned

If you are running real low boost...say 5psi and you want your BOV to PISHHHUUUUUUWWWW!! when you rev then do what I did. I took apart the BOV and took out the inner spring. This will cause your BOV to stay partially open at idle but will close during 0 to boost.
