there's a wrieup that explains that sort of thing, you're probably just not running enough boost for your bov is all.
if it's adjustable you could loosen it off a bit.

you sure you know which way is loose? also, where on the charge pipe is it, it may be in a less that ideal spot to control all that boost.

Re:bov no workie???

Boost pressure wont matter with the Type S BOV, as said before, check the BOV for how tight the spring is and if not then check the vacuum line powering it, you might have a leak.
