Hi, i'm in the process of installing a WRX intercooler with a
turbosmart BOV in my car, i would like to know how soft to set the
BOV. For instance at what minimum boost level when i let off the gas
should the BOV initiate and relesae the pressure? (Ie; it should go
off when i let off the gas at 6psi of boost)

Thanks for the help guys!

".00001" Is that why the stock BOV dose not like to be vented to the out
side?

<PRE>Nope...it can vent either way and be happy, as its just air. The reason is
the car uses a mass air flow sensor (aka MAF or MAS) which, to be a proper
setup, must vent back into teh intake tract.

When I pull the vent tube off the BOV, and plug the hole in the intake.
The car runs fine, except when get to 50 + mph. The valve stays open and
it runs like shit.

Any ideas??
