I have a Greddy Type R BOV on my car, just curious to know if I have it adjusted correctly. It shouldn't bleed any boost, except when the throttle is closed, right?
I think I had it too loose, because I tightened down the adjustment screw today pretty good (about 1/2" of thread left now), and prior to this when I was getting on it you could hear a pretty loud whoosh noise from under the hood. Now the noise is gone, and the boost seems to come on a little sooner. The wastegates seem to be working at the same 11.3 psi, so I feel like I was probably spooling the twins up to 15 psi or so, and bleeding it out of the BOV. It still works fine when the throttle is closed...
But now I can come off the line in 2nd gear and roast the tires.. gotta love boost. :D
Now to get the pipes coated (if the guy will ever call me back! dangit!) and then get it to the track....
More news as it happens ;)
