Default bov for less than 8psi boost
I've been looking for a bov recently and I've noticed that most of the description's list a recommended boost range, usually 10-25psi, does this mean that they wont work well in a system running less than 8psi?
Which bov's are designed for low boost situations?

I'm running 8.5 pounds with the Greddy Type-S. And it works.

some have adjustment screws and some are not adjustable. any j/y bov will be fine for under 8psi.

Using a Greddy Type-S BOV running 6 psi boost and works great.
