tightened bov lower boost?
i tightened my turbo xs rfl with six washers and on a holset wh1c on a ls the boost went from 20 psi to 18 psi and the turbo makes more whisling noises under normal driving conditions..it still spools slower than a **** but why would tightening the blow off valve lower boost? i figured if it was leaking it would go up

6 washers? jesus christ. i was maintaining 24psi with no leaks without using any washers.
you should at most be using 1 washer. sounds like your bov is stuck partially open. take it apart and lube the brass slide witha bit of grease, and remove at least 5 of those washers.
so you think leaking boost would raise boost pressure? haha you just made my night
