I tightened mine with an open wrench with an allen key in the center so it doesnt adjust anymore while tightening... nut should be a 10mm.

You want it just tight enough so that it doesnt leak pressure under boost.
(which isnt very tight at all, if your running low boost).
The looser it is, the quicker it will be able to open and release pressure when you let
off the gas. If its too tight, it will allow a pressure spike to build up for a split
second before it opens. I guess you can imagine that having a pressure spike is not good
For example: if you take the BOV off, you can press the plunger open by hand with a little effort. You want it just loose enough so that the 10psi(or whatever) of boost your running
can't push it open.
