Sounds like a good idea... The bov has it's own filter, which will stop any large debris going in. You should clean and re-oil your bov filter every 5000kms to keep it running at it's best. Otherwise you will lose performance and use more fuel. Ford genuine floor mays will also help your car accelerate.

The looser it is the faster it will open to vent boost. If you clamp it down hard it will only open on full boost throttle slammed conditions.Turbosmart go into the setup in quite a bit of detail on the instruction which you can download from http://www.turbosmartonline.com/index.php?s=downloads Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75017-is-it-best-to-have-bov-loose-or-tight/page/2/#findComment-1108956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheaty McCheats Totally not a Cop Donating Members 821 Member For: 14y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 07/06/11 11:50 AM Share Posted 07/06/11 11:50 AM I have mine as tight as possible, sounds like a fully hektik VL turbo in the cold air when I give it squirts. Full boost it cracks like a whip. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75017-is-it-best-to-have-bov-loose-or-tight/page/2/#findComment-1112480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be blowing boost out. Throw a pic up of you have it setup.
