Was hard to get on boost with out flooring it to close the BOV. Seems like a touchy operation getting it just right. Is it ok to shorten the hard spring a little by cutting the end off or do I have to keep searching for just the right spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the auto will never sound as good as a manual and you hardly ever hear it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too worried about the rest of it. Probably similar to the way the Bosch one acted would be fine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't adjust the top of the BOV by screwing it in or out to change the spring tension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have spent the extra $50 and got the adjustable one...but $50 is a fishing trip...or a couple a dozen piss. I might try squashing the spring down or something to that effect. At least it's holding the power well and coming on good. It's only a matter of time 'till I get pulled over like it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's fark all lag with an auto anyway but still.I think you might be onto something. I noticed a performance improvement with the stronger spring in the new BOV over the standard Bosch one. I guess pressure in the plenum isn't required to help close the BOV and the IC and piping are already full of lightly pressurized air waiting for the butterfly to open...The Bosch one was bleeding air off at idle and on light deceleration so this would have stopped line pressure from being maintained I guess...

Even though it make a sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
