RTFM = read the ******* manual....ignore.

How did you adjust it to begin with, why not just turn it back the other way. Its just a standard Vortech BOV isnt it? Is it leaking?

the screw was loose so i was tightening he bolt. then i moved it from where it was supposed to be. now my car is misfiring at about 6k. does adjusting the bov make a car misfire?

your building the most boost in the upper rpms and alot of it is blowing out. tighten the screw back up so the boost dont leak out.

check the plugs to.

screw the bolt DOWN into the BOV, that'll tighten the spring

So before you adjusted the screw, no problems. And you didnt change anything but the screw, and now you have problems. If you turned it counterclockwise 6 times, turn it back clockwise 6 times.

Im not following the problem here....
