My BOV is like my old lady...
...it wont keep its mouth shut. At idle that is. Is this normal for a Tial 50mm to sit wide open when the car is at idle (i.e. in vacuum). Do I need a stiffer spring? I've never used a Tial BOV before, so this is a new one to me.

Once the vaccum is gone, the valve closes.

Re: (91civicDXdude)
depends on the spring you have on your BOV. i think they made 3 different spring rates. I know i read about someone with the same issue last year some time and someone went into detail. If the BOV still vents during boost, then i wouldn't worry aobut it.

That's what I thought. My BOV is FULLY open at idle, not just a little bit.
