Default RFL lube question...

guys, im gonna run a turbo xs rfl bov on my stock build in progress, and i did some searching and found out the pistons stick occasionally on these bov's. my question is would i have to pull the cap off and lube it if it ever sticks? or just lube it from the evac hole.

To do it right you pull them apart, clean and lube even though a little shot of something may free it up temporarily.

thanks. on a side note, im pretty sure im gonna have to run above 11 psi when i dyno tune to reach my 275 whp goal (its a stock ls motor with a t3/t04e 50 trim .63 a/r). right now my tial has a .5 bar spring in it. should i go bigger? and if so, how big? im thinking .7 bar maybe.

A simple manual boost controller would allow for more boost. That is something you'll determine on the dyno while tuning. Really no need to worry about it now. Check with your tuner to make sure they have other springs if you choose to run off the gate alone.
