Birdly, that may just be an issue with your BOV. if you are interested, i can see about doing a warranty exchange. i cant do anythign if you cut the spring though, so if you cut it, its yours no matter what.

this is the first problem i have heard of with anything i have sold. there is a first time for everything and i knew the day would come eventually. even name brand parts mess up, maybe just not as often

i do try to use as much of my stuff as possible and so far it has all worked perfectly for me and a few locals

WTF

why would cutting th e spring void the warranty on a cdm bov? whats the spring worth .50 cents? ---- last time i contacted ssac about a fucked up fire ring they just sent me a whole new wastegate no questions asked, because they cost $5

I would send it back but I ordered aluminum charge piping and with the tial bov came a ss flange pipe, so I tig welded the bov onto the normal, smaller aluminum flange on the charge piping, instead of using the v-band. I did not think I would have this type of problem.

Whats your setup and what does your car idle at in -hg vac.

Scott-EP

it voids the warranty cause i have to send it back to them. if they see a cut spring then they wont credit me. they cost the manufacturer $5, but they cost me a lot more.

a bov welded onto charge pipe defiantly makes it non returnable. lol

My Pile of ---- pulls 22 " vacuum at idle vlave is closed at idle, but works perfect

Well its kinda hard to return an item complete if one of the components needs to be welded. Ie the bov was gunna get welded or I was gunna buy a new flange that was aluminum. Both create non-refundable situations.

My friend gave me a ching chong HKS SSQV Knock Off, looks just like Phil Stubbs. But I doubt it is. The ------ C-clip didnt fit, so I had to buy a different snap ring. Then the ------ thing didnt open... So I read a thread on here that someone found you run the SSQV with no spring, and it would close once you got any positive pressure... Did that, and havent had a problem since. Opens quick as ----, and I still hold boost just fine.

Im willing to bet that the majority of CDM BOVs have stiff springs in them. Then again, my car doesnt pull -20hg at idle, probably closer to -15hg. It seems to hit -20 when I let off the throttle, then go back up to -15hg.

Thats and intersting concept. I will cut the spring to ---- before I take it out.
