Put some wd-40 on that ----, maybe it's sticking?

Go buy some springs at the auto parts store and see if any work. I know there's some in the sections with all those Help! parts. Just try ----.

I will try wd-40

I try to minimize the trips to autozone, if it were possible I would completely boycott them. Duralast = Scam

bought some springs for mine at a hardware store. the one that came it it cut worked better, basicly its too stiff so its not working, after i cut mine it would hang open a little at idle, but at least it worked, comp surge went away and i heard the air rush out of the bov. sounded pretty cool too

Why judge my knowledge by my post count? Maybe if I have 1,000,000 post count than everybody here will listen to me reguardless I'm right or wrong.

its just like judging knowledge by age. i cant stand that. i am 27 and i have been professionally working as some sort of mechanic since i was 18. i have gone for job interviews and i could work circles around the guys interviewing me, but since they are 20 years older than me they think i am an idiot. i also got judged by my tool box once. i probably have a good $20k in tools including the tool box and a guy told me that i must not know much about cars if thats all i had.

Dude honestly, I am just judging your posting and knowledge, compared to what you said, this is my third turbo setup if I do not know the difference and the different functions of a bov compared to a waste gate then I shouldnt even be posting. Think before you post, the title says phillstubs tial style bov, not WG!

Oh yes I remeber that build, well yes, the bov will need to be lubricated and I think that should fix it, along with a tial spring or cut spring, no problems should occur IMO.

Yes, Got the new spring, no help the Tial 11 psi spring is taller and stiffer. Haha now I wasted $30, lame. But I greesed and cut the spring about 5 times, we took about 5 links off it so it barely makes any pressure when screwing it down. But it seems to open, and not create any turbo surge. It would blow off at points while still creating turbo surge. Whats going on?
