OK im trying to get this stupid bov to whistle like it should and so far I have had no luck. It barely goes off and the RFL junk that I have now is so frikin loud and annoying.

Anyway, I have the vacuum source from the intake manifold running to the lower nipple.

Help me out. I searched and someone said to remove a spring so I opened the top and there were 2 springs, I tried removing the big one but then it didn't even go off. haha. It leaked I think.

Here's a little blurb about adjusting it from http://www.stealth316.com/2-bov1.htm

Adjusting: The screw on the end of the purple cap adjusts the tension on the internal spring. To change this tension, start by loosening the lock nut with a 10-mm wrench. Using a 3-mm hex key inserted into the end of the screw, turn the screw clockwise to increase tension (the screw will go down a little into the purple cap), or counterclockwise to reduce tension. Be sure to tighten the lock nut when finished.

Increasing the tension ("tightening" the valve) will increase the pressure difference that must exist between the plenum and Y-pipe (that is, the pressure on either side of the throttle body) before the valve opens. Decreasing the tension ("loosening" the valve) will reduce the required pressure difference. If the BPV is adjusted too loose the valve will open as soon as you let up off the throttle. It may even open during acceleration at higher boost pressures. If the BPV is adjusted too tight, the valve may not open soon enough (or at all) between shifts or when slowing. This may cause compressor surge which you should be able to hear as a "WHEw Whew whew" noise. When the valve is adjusted properly it should make a small noise as the air rushes through it into the intake hose after the throttle plate closes, such as when you shift gears or decelerate. GReddy recommends adjusting the BOV as tight as possible without causing compressor surge.

Why do you have the intake manifold running to the lower fitting? That would hold the valve closed harder when you let off the gas. For the valve to open, you want vacuum on the upper fitting and boost on the lower fitting. In fact, you don't need anything hooked up to the lower fitting for the BOV to work. I removed one of the springs and have the upper fitting hooked to the intake manifold. At 6 psi, it blows off fine. If you feather it just right, it will blow off without even hitting boost in the manifold.

Gimme fuel...Gimme fire...Gimme that which I desire

Yea I was kind of confused about that lower nipple, I'll try it out and hopefully it'll be alright! :D

I'll let you know the results.

Works now :D the vac line should be at the top. Frick im so stupid. Good to have the Greddy back that RFL-H was insane.

was it that loud???? i was thinkin about gettin one of those....lol

Dude its insane, your car will sound like its sneezing. It also goes off at like 1 PSI, I didn't even have to rev hard. I would barely build boost at like 3.5k and it would still make a whoosh.

You will get some messed up looks with the RFL-H. It also looks like a horn...

I actually like my RFL. :shrug

BOVs are personal preference.

Can you put a Greddy Type-S on a HAHN Stage 1 piping (5PSI) without welding the flange and just using a coupler and tighten it?

Thanks James :)

Yea it comes with the retro flange so its just a stick on :D

I'm sure it's ok on 5psi...On my old Hahn setup when I first bought it, turned the boost up to 10psi, bov came off, tightened again. A month later went up to 14psi and it blew off again. That's end of that coupler for me, anybody want to buy it? :)
