HKS SSBOV Owners, Question

[BoostInsideTSi]

Hey guys, I need to call in a quick easy favor. If you own the HKS SSBOV, (many of us do), could you please run out to the car real quick and give me a couple quick specs. on the adjustment screw. After taking mine to the shop toget an install, the thing was missing. I called HKS and the only info. they had for me is that is a c6 bolt. Please check the following:

Total bolt length
Threaded part of the bolt length
Regular part of the bolt length
Any other things you noticed that might help me in getting the right one from the hardware store.

Thanks a lot.

Most people plug that thing up with JB Weld since it is known to leak boost. Perhaps this is why my SSQV doesn't seem to have one.

what about the adjustments that most peope make? Fluttering or compressor surge would be no good.. still hoping to get some specs on that screw

What adjustments? The adjustment screw doesn't really do a whole lot. I've NEVER heard of anyone's SSQV causing compressor surge. I've heard PLENTY of people complaining that they thought the fluttering was compressor surge, but many replies saying it's just the valve design that causes valve flutter. Unless you're running serious boost EVERY time you let off the gas, it's going to do that.

Compressor surge would only be caused if your bov spring was too tight... Correct? So if theres no adjustment screw in there, and it's not leaking boost... then there is no problem.
