Adjusting BOV

Before we put the car on the road, I just wanted to know how I would know whether or not I need to adjust my BOV. It's the Greddy Type-S. It has the adjustment on the top saying hard/soft. Thanks

Check it so it's closed at full boost. If you set it to soft it's going to open when you go on boost higher then your adjustement. Had that trouble at first it opened under boost and the air fuel ratio was going to rich, you have to adjust it on the road, each timne it's to soft you harden it a little until it perfect with the boost your are running

Thanks for the info. So if I hear it while I'm getting boost it's too soft, and the adjustment doesn't have anything to do with how loud it is?

depend on how hard you set it, the more you set it high to more pressure it's going to take to open it but when it open the higher pressure will make it sound louder. Be carefull to not adjust it to high cause it's hard on the turbo. For my part i prefer to set it nearly at the setting where it's going to open at full boots, then it's save for the engine has it open has soon has you release the gaz and it make a long but not to loud sound
