Default bov not working

do you know what boost levels the s4 was running? chances are it might have the stiff spring for use on applications over 18psi, in which case it would be too stiff to blow off on your car

no i don't have ne idea what psi was being used..i bought it off of ebay, it's from Japan..it probably was higher psi than what i have. you think i would be able to find a spring not as stiff for my application somewhere...maybe on ebay?

Also make sure you have it hooked up to a strong enough vac source off the manifold.

Alot of the nipples off the throttle body aren't strong enough to actuate a BOV.
