okay, i am running a turbo xs rfl at 7 psi, and it really isnt that loud...it sounds just like a greddy type s, but softer. so i am wondering, is the bov even working? is there a leak somewhere? is there a way to adjust it so it lets more air out? or is this about right since i am only running 7 psi. right now, i have to shift at 4500 just to hear a little squeek from it, and i dont think thats good for my turbo.

the xs rfl is pretty loud. It's probably too tight, try softening /loosening it up a bit so that the valve opens more when at idle

It won't be to the RFL status untill you up ur boost it isn't blowing all that much pressre off with 7psi now at 15psi you will hear it.

bg boost, how do i loosen it? do i actually loosen the valve body, or the little nut with the vacuum hose on top?

CAN ANYONE HELP???

i think that 7psi is your reason for the low sound. Are these adjustable or do you have to replace the spring to adusjt them?

im running 8 psi with the rfl and its a loud WOsShh.... where did u hook up your vacumn line to?

mattcalica

the website only shows how to adjust it so it stops fluttering...it doesnt show how to loosen the valve...i hooked my vacuum line up to one of the many vacuum lines on the im...

get a better vacumn. dont tee it off with too many stuff.

Agreed make sure your BOV has adequate vacuum. Try changing up the order of your lines
