Default Adjusting the BOV?

I have a GReddy Type RS BOV, and was wondering the proper way to adjust it. I think it might be a little bit loose and lestting some boost out. Couldnt really tell at 5psi, but now i am at 8.5psi, and the boost is fluctuating. Hopefully this will solve my problem. And have any of you used the Blitz SBC-iD boost controller? If you have, did you experience any problems with it overboosting?
Thanks
Ron

To test if your BOV is leaking, tighten the thing down all the way. Does your boost stabalize? Check for leaks around the BOV flange and make the bolts are tight. If not, then it likely a vacumm leak, or boost control issue somewhere.

How about if you turn off the boost controller...still have the boost issue?
