u can drive it with the blow off valve open, its kinda like driving with a hole drilled in ur ic piping... u jus wont create to much boost i guess. unless it closes under boost. and man u don't kno what ur saying... "cut the spring to make it open at 5psi" u mean basically u made the spring softer so it would open easier at lower boost. stiff spring bov's don't really open at low boost and yours wasn't adjustable so to adjust it u cut the spring. not a bad idea but atleast explain it better so u don't get flamed so hard.

I was having trouble with my ebay bov too... When I took it apart there was no diphram... I guess the intent was to have the seal created by the oil... Anyhow, I toss that sucker out.. and threw in a volvo bov I got at the junkyard for 10 bux.. Maybe you can go the junkyard and get a cheap replacement...

uhm, you do know that you dont even need a blow off valve if you dont want. It wont hurt anything under 12psi...
