Does it work if ur hitting full boost or just not blowing off on neutral rev.

You can stack the washers with the spring to run the bov at higher boost

Neither, so you would open up the bov and just put them on top of the spring? hmmm, sounds kind of sketchy to me?

if the bov isn't openning up after full boost then you're gonna have to cut a coil or two off the spring so it can soften up some and open up easier. also have it hooked upto a strong vacume source like the pcv valve.

I have the greddy knock off and I had to remove one of the springs inside and adjust the top stud to get it to work.

didn't you read my post cut off one coil off the spring, this should solve the problem. if it doesn't then cut off another coil or half of a coil. becareful running the car with the bov top loose, i did that and the top came loose and the bov piston flew onto the road, never to be seen again.

the nipple on top of that one specific bov does nothing, if you twist open the cap there are NOTHING can adjusted.
you have to trust me
