Boost with Greddy Type S bov

[Romogst]

After installing my Greddy type s bov my boost gauge is reaching 16,17 and 18psi sometimes and slowly going down, is this ok for my turbo? With the stock bov the gauge was reaching 14psi max. Can the bov be adjusted to hold only about 15psi max? Is is safe to run like that? Help!!!

Uhh, turn down the boost.

I think your experiencing boost spike...but I'm new to this. but yeh if you have a manual boost controller turn it down a bit. If not then uhh, you should have to adjust the BOV cause you don't want it leeking. The only reason you adjust it is if it is leeking or if it is too tight and not opening enough.

I don't have a boost controller to turn down the boost.

DUDE, no, NO REGARD... well dosent the bcs regulate boost? man im just about to get a type s, it also could be too tight a spring

The factory BOV leaks boost, the aftermarket one doesn't

The old BOV leaks like a bastard. This only alows you to see so much boost. Now that you have a good BOV that doesn't leak, the engine is getting more air (that was previously vented back into the intake. You NEED a MBC to reduce your new found boost.

I think i'm going to buy the Apexi AVC-R boost controller. Any info on this boost controller?? Is it easy to hook up and use??

no its not easy to use.. the AVC-R is quite difficult to setup. If you want ease of use get a MBC, if you insist of the EBC then get a Greddy Profec B.
