Re: Help Quick BOV Wont Open (egturbo)
It is...the brake booster runs to the intake manifold..I know that it will open off of a brake booster line. It's not even moving a little..can somebody shed some light on this for me?? Where do I grease or oil it??

yea it has to be before the check valve, and also i would recomend another placement for it other than the brake booster line. Why not T it off another regular sized vacuum line?

Re: Help Quick BOV Wont Open (LSiTurbo)
I teed off of the Brake Booster line because "supposidly" its supossed to be more responsive. By before the check valve do you mean more twoards the booster or more twoards the intake mani?? Its very close to the intake mani right now!

Re: Help Quick BOV Wont Open (Ricey McRicerton)
But my check valve is not affecting the BOV....I am on the intake manifold side..so it wouldnt bother the BOVs signal. Can somebody please help me?? All I want is to adjust my TiAL BOV so that I get the coolguy Whoosh sound!!

Are theyre any type of washers or anything that you can remove spring tension from? Or different springs?

Brake booster is the best location for it, you get the strongest source of vacuum/boost there... Bigger diameter off the IM.

Re: Help Quick BOV Wont Open (mskibbz-T)
Dumb question: Are you boosted? That is, does your boost gauge read boost? Make sure there aren't any IC pipes that are loose and leaking boost, I know it sounds dumb, but this has been the case in a couple other BOV not working threads. Just a thought, don't take offense at it
