You get what you deserve...

You got a BOV you didn't need just so you could make noise instead of worrying about holding boost, and now look...

how can you tell the difference between surgeing and fluttering? and if the spring is to loose does that mean that i'm leaking boost?

You really need to do some searching on the forum and researching all over the internet.

There's plenty of information out there to answer these questions!

If you look on the Works or GFB (I can't remember) website it has settings you should use for a stock Evo. It was also in the instructions I got with the BOV. I had that BOV for a little while because my stock DV cracked soon after I bought the car. Just search around on here. I think the settings have been discussed. You could also call Works.

about halfway down on the spring and run like 80/20 its still loud and your car will run better. I used to have one held boost fine but a little surging.

rofl, hes got a point.

hope you get things going right... lots of ppl have issues with bov's

my advice, stick with stock till you need to upgrade to hold more boost.

It means you're an asshat with a useless mod.

You have to be about the most confrontational internet personality i've ever come across.

Chalk me up as an asshat cause I have the same useless mod. I also changed my taillights, so that makes me twice the asshat. I'm gonna go throw myself off of a bridge now.
