If you can get it lose enough that it opens at idle it will let extra air in and help with the idle issues our cars have. It will also open when your cruising and because the MAF doesnt register the air coming in through the BOV your car will run leaner and you get better fuel economy on the highway. (you may need to cut the spring to get it too open @ idle, and this will also gaurantee it fully opens under boost) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75017-is-it-best-to-have-bov-loose-or-tight/#findComment-1108824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also runnin leaner then the tune? What if it's already close to full duty? Kablaaam!Are you joking with all that or what? LolYou run the bov as tight as possible for sharp throttle response but loose enough to eliminate compressor surge, simple.
