Aps bov flutter!?
So I finally switched out my HKS BOV that came on the car with a APS with a recriculated injen intake. The only problem is when I bought the BOV the guy had said he adjusted it and as far as my knowledge on this BOV it is best at optimal settings. So what is optimal setting? How many threads should be showing on the top nut adjustment? It holds boost perfect just getting flutter even a WOT. Thanks in advance and yes I did a search.

Just speaking from my experience....teflon tape the adjustment screw AND apply liquid gasket to seal up the cylinder where the rubber o-ring is. I used a bead of Hondabond on the outside of the o-ring. That's what it took to get mine to stop fluttering. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be.

The adjustment depends on your car, theres no "perfect adjustment" you need to research and find out how to do it. Mine is non adjustable and still new with turbo cars so I havent gotten to that point yet so can't help ya there

While you have the cap off, I recommend that you pull the cylinder and spring assembly out, and load it up with grease. I've been using "green grease" with good results so far. Obviously don't overdo it though. You don't want to keep the spring from being able to move freely and allow the BOV to do it's job correctly.
Once that's done and back together, place a bead of sealant, like Hondabond, around where the cap meets the base of the BOV on the outside of where the o-ring is. Tighten the cap down nice and snug with the allen screws, and you should be all set. Hopefully that all makes sense. I know it's not the most technical description on how to do it.
