Blitz SS BOV not venting on EP82

[clys]

Hey guys, just installed a Blitz SS BOV, using the same vacuum source as the stock BOV, and it rarely vents. I'm always compressor surging unless I'm WOT and shift at near 6k, I'll get a tiny "PFFT" and thats it...I've adjusted the set screw to maximum loose and tight either way, not much of a change.

I disassembled the BOV, and lubricated it. The piston moves freely. It's got a red-ish color spring inside. Is this the high boost spring?

If anyone has any tips, please share them.



Thanks,



Clyson

Mine crackles at about 2-3k and anymore than that it makes a loud noise. I've never taken it apart but the hard spring is red. The standard one is marked blue so that could be the one you're after.

Blitz have an FAQ page which may help - http://www.blitzperformancesales.com/faq/faq.html

Did u adjust the spring. You can make it hard or soft.
