Last weekend i installed my new Greddy S-Type Bov and set the bov screw setting to just about as hard as you can set it to.. normally i have a pretty bad lifter click (as it seems many people have) and ever since i installed the bov, it hasnt made any sort of click anymore. Its awesome that its stopped.. but how could a new Bov kill the lifter click?? im baffled. Anyone have any thoughts? (i havent made any other changes to my car since the bov install, such as oil change, etc...)
 
BOV had nothing to do with the tick stopping, it's physically impossible

On a side note, you don't want to set the bov to full hard, you'll expereince compressor surge.... which can kill your turbo.
 
Its not set at full hard, but pretty close... im going to tune it down a bit yet. This is while driving ... i usually get heavy ticking between 2k-3k rpms. I dont see how its possible that the Bov would stop the ticking either, but it seems that it did. I'll switch the stock 2g bov back on tomorrow (*barfs*) and see if the ticking comes back. ill let ya know.. maybe its just a fluke.
