Posted 05/09/13 11:30 PM Share Posted 05/09/13 11:30 PM I have recently installed a turbosmart kompact dual port blow off valve on my car.I have made it full atmospheric. My car is running 20 PSI. I have two questions:1. Under lower boost levels eg < 8 PSI, I will get the turbo surge/flutter sound, anything above that will get the bov sound. Is this normal or should I adjust? If so tighter or more loose? currently have 4 shims.2. Also wanting to know, is it possible for the bov to leak of make the car lose power? And if so, would this be caused by the BOV being adjusted too tightly or too lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this would probably show up on a boost gauge if fitted.As long as your not losing boost then you could loosen it a bit, but whats happening now isn't really an issue.

Posted 06/09/13 08:18 AM Share Posted 06/09/13 08:18 AM if you lose boost how do u know if its BOV or valve springs?Just wanting to know if it is possible.If you have it too loose I pretty sure it will open under boost and bleed off some of that pressure. Of course this would probably show up on a boost gauge if fitted.As long as your not losing boost then you could loosen it a bit, but whats happening now isn't really an issue.I do have a boost gauge connected. I never would have thought it would be this hard to adjust a bov. Just about ready to throw it in the bin.As per the instructions, I've adjusted it so that the piston is not open during idle.Is this the correct way to adjust them or is it OK if they are open on idle.
