The screw aloows you to adjust hte spring tension. When you are running more bosot pressure you might find it starts to leak in higher rev's so you want to tighten the srping up, however if you are not running as much boost you want to loosen it off to ensure the BOV will be able to open. However they more adjustable nowdays for rice factor to get different sounds.

BOV"s are illegal for the reason being that they vent blow-by into the atmosphere... yes they can be noisey, yes they cause the car to run richer but its stated that they blow un-filtered air/oil into the atmosphere... stupid really, cos last time i checked the exhaust vented to atmo aswell?? But thats all good its only carbon monoxides and what have you, alot worse than the 'ocassional' mist of oil comin from a BOV.

P.s. Don't forget BOV's if they aren't a good design will cause crappy throttle response, and having a atmo BOV means you must re-spool that released amount of air. They have their pluses and minuses.

As YBSLO4 mentioned BOVs are illegal if they vent to atmo, because cranck case gasses must exit the car via the exhaust, Road Traffic Act 1962 (from memory) in SA. These traffic laws are now pretty much consistant australia wide. So they MUST plumb back to be legal - like the stock one.

As for adjusting BOV, tighter will mean it takes more (boost) pressure for the valve to lift. Yes it will make less noise, but the fluttering noise you hear is air reversing through the compressor, slowing the turbo down (increasing lag) and putting strain on the turbine - this isnt too good for obvious reasons.

I adjusted mine by winding it back until the fluttering sound was almost gone. Almost, because if you wind it back too far, you may have the car stall at idle as it doesnt seal properly. Something to have a play with until you are happy.

The only noise testing I know of that a car needs to be roadworthy has to do with the exhaust, this is done with the car at revs, and the EXHAUST is not to exceed 89dBs. This is conducted with the car at specific revs, not changing gear - so I am not sure how any copper gets away with defecting cars for excessive intake noise (how could it exceed 89dB?) or noisey BOV which wouldnt be measured if a car was being tested for compliance with noise regulations - only for atmo BOV or pod that doesnt comply with ADRs.

I have heard of people claiming to be defected for this, and I would love to know exactly what regutation/act it is that they would be in breach of?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
