bov adjustment

[Richrx_tsi]

ok ive heard two different things some people say the bov should be adjusted all the way soft and some say the other way around
i have mine set soft but just looking to get the scoop on this which is better for performance and which is easier on the car were should it be set

Well basically you just set it up to how your car is, if your bov is opening before you hit full boost then harden it, if its surging then soften it. You just need to tune it to your specific setup.

It holds true for 99% of street driven vehicles. If you don't have a race BOV like a Tial (or any valve with enormous discharge piston area exposed to boost) then it should be set to full soft. This is both easier on the turbo and better for performance.
