Is your BOV an after market BOV? If so, generally just twisting the big coloured bit on the top ... usually blue or purple ... in the direction that says "loosen" on the top .. will loosen the spring to make it open at lower boost.

If it doesnt tell you which wat to turn it ... the instructions will ... failing that just test it ... try twisting one way, then try another way....

I can check mine tonight if you want, most will twist the same way. Do you know the brand/model of the BOV?

immortal.

well then it should have a sticker on it to say which way to loosen and which way to tighten.

anyway, it should be anti clockwise for loosening (soft setting)

you could have gone to the www.turbosmart.com.au site and looked at their products and found this picture..

anyway..

not your bov but all turbo smart bovs adjust the same way.

1. turn it 3 whole revolutions (1 revolution = 360 degs) anticlockwise.

(anticlockwise = the side away from you when you hold it goes to the left, the opposite to what the hands on a clock do)

2. Put the Auto into 1st gear, Drive it 400m down a straight road giving it bursts to exactly 4500rpm and see if it opens goes "pssht~"

If its still not doing what you want it to, then repeat step 1 and 2 again.

If you loosen it too much the top will spring off the BOV and you gotta screw it back on again. Its not difficult if that hapens.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
