Default Why does My BLitz BOV do this?

When I drive it and get on the gas, as soon as the turbo starts to spool it seems like my bov trys to release. It doesnt seem like it can hold the pressure? What should I try?

Is there an adjustment screw for stiffness?

ummm make it tighter, I guess you don't really get the concept behind a BOV it lets the pressure out of your pipes so that when you close the throttle it doesnt stop the turbo, whats happening is its too loose and air is escaping before the throttle is closed. Loosen that nut and tighten that Allen head up a couple turns then tighten that nut back up, it should be clean sounding and there shouldn't be any fluttering sounds.

WOuld this help with my turbo from spiking high psi too quick... It seems my pis gauge jumps to like 10+ psi quick with out transferring any of the power to the car....I never boosted past 5psi in this car. Im guessing I am now because I rebuilt my turbo front end and I loosened the actuator rod on the wastegate. It was sort of stuck but it moves good now that I got some wd-40 in there....?????
