i searched and got my answer already but dont think its right

the threads on my bov is between 6-7 like i found on these threads.. i got no fluttering at all but im not geting a full dump at WOT between gears I think the valve is not staying closed long enough.. should i tighten it more? (make it like 5-6 threads?)

 

If you do not hear the valve blow off after wot between gears shifts then it's not adjusted properly..Whats not getting a full dump mean?. Don't go WOT until you readjust it...The valve should open to relieve pressure downstream of the blower which prevents blower instability and damage between gears shifts.

 

i just researched more and it seams like i should tighten it more and more till it flutters then ease it up till it stops? is that statement correct? I just feel like the BOV is open all the time and im loosing psi

 

Mine simply goes Whisssssssssh between gears. No flutter. If it were open all the time you would be venting and not have any boost..What boost levels are you reaching?

 

for now it goes to 7psi easilly on the 3.33 pully

it just feels like its venting all the time.... when does it stop venting? only when u stomp hard on it?

 

The BOV constantly vents unless you got WOT. This is so you arent building boost are partial throttle.

 

ok so my BOV is working accordingly... just didnt know it was the last thing i needed to adjust on the kit and didnt have a clue... all i know from my re-search was 6-7 threads and thats ware it is now... thanks guys.

friday ill be installing the 3.12 pully do i need to re work it then?

 

If there is 6 or 7 threads showing above the nut....your fine . If you think something is wrong , look for vacuum leaks in the hose running to it , and all the other vacuum hoses running off the plenum . You should hear the boost be released [ dumped ] when shifting and letting off the gas .

The Bypass BOV comes from Vortech with about 9 threads showing and set to close at around [ 0 to 1 in. ] of vacuum . Tightening it down to 5 to 7 threads makes the BOV close sooner...say 2 to 4 in. of vacuum . Now if you get it to tight and you hear a fluttering when you let off the gas . Thats compressor surge and the adjustment bolt should be backed out a little .

 

thanks for taking your time and explaining it.

This clears up everything and makes total sence!
