    xs-power bov

    Hello.
    Anyone using xs-power 50mm TIAL replica bov ( http://www.xs-power.com/blow-off-valves-2.htm ) ?
    How about the bovs spring? Mine is so tight that only with both hands I can push (hardly) in the valve. Maybe there is something wrong..

      But anyway.. I think that spring is too tight and will slow down my turbo when changing between gears.. but will see how it will work when mounted.
      Btw, I added vac to the top joint and pressurised by -0.5bar, valve didnt open

        You will get more vacum than .5 bar on a throttle snapped shut. And you're forgetting the 1.5 bar pressure on the other side

        Put it on the car and try it, they work fine.

          Be aware and check your springs if/when buying this piece of **** bov. The thing is that the bov must have 0.6-0.8bar tight spring. Mine has so TIGHT that the bov DOES NOT open at all. I ordered 0.7bar spring from eBay that comes originaly in TIAL 50mm bovs.

          Everything else seems ok. XS-power however doesnt answer my emails and so on about this thing. Looks like they dont care of what they sell.
