Greddy Type-S bov leak?

[2fast4]

I tested it for air leak & it has small leakage aroud the adjuster-thread. This is brand new too. I put some teflon tapes around the thread but not a complete seal. Any ideas?

Approx how much psi are you pumping in until it starts leaking?

If it is leaking air out of the threads there is a problem with the actual valve itself sealing.

I would return it.

Well, I had for years and never put it on my car, yet. Due to me inadvertenly ordered 1G BOV UICP. I used vacuum gauge to test for leakage. I checked other users experience and it seems the same problem. My Type-S is original Greedy and not knock-offs. Got it from RRE long ago.

Btw, you got a "mean" looking FMIC. Do you have cooling problem. If not, how do you go about the cooling solution.

Sounds like the problem I had when I first installed it. I actually stripped out the adjustment screw while I was adjusting it. I ended up having to retap the hole and us a larger bolt with a nut on it. It is the same princible that the orginal screw has but it fixed the problem. Check out my gallery if you have any questions.

How are you sure that it's coming from the adjustment screw? Did you use soapy water?
