BOV adjustement

[Mr. Y]

Hi guys!
I recently installed Greddy type-RS replica BOV and it sounds like Fow-ow-ow-ow (at 8 psi). My friend's BOV sounds like loud FOW!! and I like it best.
Can I adjust mine to sound similar? (turn harder or softer?)

So how BOV should be adjusted for optimal performance (how to determine that it is optimal?)

PS: sound is not very important, just want to be sure that BOV works as it should.

Thanks!

do some seaching around the forums for about a bazillion similar threads. Some good info can be found!

But as for the harder softer deal. Harder if its stalling at idle, Softer if its surging.

at least thats the general rule of thumb. So in your case, try softening it up a bit!

WTF is this? BOV thread day?

Sounds like it's surging.

Yes, I'll try search =) But sometimes quick answer helps better.
Moreover everybody write about "surging" but I don't understand what is it. Is it that I called "-ow-ow-ow"? ;-)

PS: Thank you for clarification.

most likely yes, that is surge. Harmfull on your turbo if you don't get it taken care of!

My Bosch ones are not adjustable..

And they feed back on themselves. (You have to love something that will feed itself...)
