by phoenix_mtk on 23-08-09 03:55 PM weakening the current spring as such is not an option as then you run into all sorts of problems and potential faliure, as was said either get a more suitable bov or see if the suplier sells different rated springs, what psi are you wanting it to open at and why? and yeah if you go too weak youll run into problems aswell it will open under boost and thatll annoy you more trust me, there is no perfect example with bov's as with anything mechanical its all about compromise and they arent designed to open EVERY time you lift off the throttle, personally it would drive me mad hearing psssht everytime i changed gear especially when driving past the constabulatory...... but thats just my two cents |

Well obviously i did it for the sound. It's not one with a trumpet, so it's not really all that loud. It's the flutter from when it doesn't open that i don't really like. |

by hawks123 on 25-08-09 10:49 AM Yeah i know second hand can cost more in the lone run, but i didn't even know if i would like it. So i didn't want to spend heaps then find out that i don't like it. And i knew it wouldn't go any faster. |
