[RESOLVED] BOV blowing off when it shouldnt

[97gstjosh]

So this has been happening for about 2 weeks. when Im driving regularly and my car is building boost it usually blows off at 10psi but thats with my foot still pushing the gas down. I dont let off the gas at all, it doesnt happen everytime. It hits 10psi blows off then builds right back up and keeps building. Im running 22psi right now. Mods are up to date I just dont know whats wrong
Please help me

My thought is you have a crappy BOV. Make sure the vaceume line is hooked up, to supply vaceume to the BOV, releasing the boost pressure when you let off gas.

What kind you have, is the bov line tapped for anything and if you can post a pic of the engine.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Greddy RS. I second the pics!

 

[silver bullit]

Is your bov stock?

If it's adjustable, adjust the spring. Go with a stiffer spring and see if it helps.

 

[97gstjosh]

It is the Greddy RS
let me post up a pic for you guys

Here you guys go. ENJOY

I think I found the problem
If you look at the top pic behind the BOV where its spliced the vac line
is almost off the nipple. I pushed it back on all the way and gave it a couple zip ties.
Just need to drive it now. Just in case you ask its spliced going to my MBC and then top port of
my intake manifold

yeah check the spring pressure

 

[Bud92gsx]

Yeah check the spring. They should have sent like 3 springs with the BOV. Change them out for a stiffer spring.

Has this problem been resolved? Those zip ties could be help, but the springs sound more likely to cause this problem.

My Greddy RS only came with 1 spring. I didnt know they made different springs for it.

Yes problem resolved. The top port on my tial 38mm wastegate where my line goes to my MBC was loose. You could just screw it off by hand WTF . Tightened that down and Im good to go I feel like a noob for not checking that in the first place before posting
So everyone else check that if this happens

I hate that...for the DSM stereotype of being so unreliable, it seems that my only mechanical problems are right in front of me and I feel dumb for not noticing it first once I fix the problem

Good thing ya got it fixed
