for those of you who have tried this, what did you think?i took mine out and it seems to open much easier (obviously)when i used to run open atmosphere, i used to get a little tiny jerk while putting my foot back on the gas(in town driving), then when i recirculated, it went away. now with the smaller of the two springs out the jerk is there, the valve works really well. i am also using both nipples, one on vac, one on press.

Why would you remove the spring on an already soft BOV. It's going to be prone to leaking now.

You remove it because it WONT open because it's too stiff. I had this same problem too. Even when adjusted all the way loose. I only am using the vacuum nipple.

gtune4, where did you tap into for the boost pressure for your bov?
