what is the purpose of the spring in Tial BOVs?
i was just curious as to what is the purpose of the tial bov having springs? what are the remifications if you have the wrong sized spring for your application as in pulling 19inches of vacuum but you get a 9 psi spring.
is it all in relation to off boost? or would having the wrong spring for the incorrect vacuum reading cause issues during boost?
thanx in advance

Re: what is the purpose of the spring in Tial BOVs? (Nextelbuddy)
the purpose of the wastegate spring is to hold the wastegate closed so the turbo will spool up faster till it hits the desired rating of the spring (psi) once the exhaust gasses exceed the pressure the spring is set for, it forces the wastegate to open slowly to bypass exhaust gasses so they do not go into the turbo and make it generate more boost.
The spring is what regulates the lowest psi setting that the turbo will generate. In your example, 9 psi will be the lowest amount of boost the turbo will generate.
It does not have anything to do with vacuum. Vacuum is sort of related to the health of your engine. If you have bad ring seal, you will have low vacuum.
I would suggest using the RED SEARCH button in the upper right hand corner of this forum. It will answer all of your noobie questions. Don't forget to click "archives" if you don't find anyting in the recent threads.

haha... self ownage.
It's okay though, most BOVs don't have springs that you can change out like the Tial, so it's an easy mistake to make.
Tial BOVs are the bomb ****!

yeah that pdf shows the spring pressures and has a quick listing of which pressure to use fo your application.
i think what the OP was asking (even if he did a poor job getting the point across) is since he has 19 mm/hg at idle he should use the 11lbs spring, so will there be a problem using a 9lbs spring? the only problem i can see using too light a spring is that the BOV may stay slightly open at idle. i dont think it will really hurt performance.
also too heavy of a spring may cause compressor surge, and too light make open early and leak boost.

obviously now you know the tials do. but generally bov's do have a spring inside of them, thats how they keep the valve closed and thats why they are adjustable.

Wow you need to save that attitude for a thread where you're actually correct. Maybe you should be the one searching?

so with the right spring the bov should be close at idle?? or open??

In my experience Tial BOVs are slightly open at idle. But as soon as you tap the throttle it shuts, so it won't hurt performance at all.

HAHA funniest **** ever.
From what I understand if you have to heavy of a spring and not running that much boost you may get compressor surge. But I could be wrong.

wow guys...didn't think it was THAT funny, so I was sorta wrong. I can find countless threads that everyone of you have said something not quite right.
On no, I missed that a tial BOV has a certain pound spring in it, big fuking deal.
quite crying babies, just let it go. Where is the <U>tech </U>in your gay *** posts?
At least what I wrote is correct about a wastegate.

Re: what is the purpose of the spring in Tial BOVs? (Nextelbuddy)
It really deals with the amount of vacuum needed to keep the valve open more so then the amount of boost needed to keep it closed. Its so cars with little vacuum can still hold open the valve when necessary. Many aftermarket BOV's have adjustment screws to take care of this. Tial does not so you have to swap out springs. One more reason to go against the bandwagon 
ANY BOV should be completely OPEN at idle. If not, adjust accordingly.

You jumped the original poster's **** and told him to search and called him a NOOBIE when you as a SEASONED H-T'er should know one of the forum rules is DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO SEARCH and the info you have him was completely irellavant of what he was asking. It sounded like you were trying to be an *** to him BUT it backfired. Unfortunately the problem with this forum and about any other forum is noone wants to help anymore BUT just SLAM DUNK someone and humiliate them these days. It sucks
