Is anyone else using a Greddy Type RS Blow Off Valve? I ahve an 07 Fst Switchback and put one of these valves on the sled an it doesn't really seem to blow off unless you are at really high boost when you let off. I machined a flange and welded it right to the stock intercooler piping right behind the intercooler. I have the valve set all the way loose and it just doesn't seem to work well. The sled sounds like the turbo shutters at lower boost insted of blowing off. I was just wondering if anyone ahs any input or has had any problems like this.

Hey , do you have the vacumn line hooked up from the carb to the valve?? If so , where did you connect it to coming out of the carbs ????

I have the GReddy BOV with no issues that I see yet. It is set at about 3/8" + down the threads at 12psi...
Seriously... got to a VW or Audi dealer and get a 710n valve. It is good for 25 psi and they will cost you <$35
I have the line that is hooked to the stock bov hooked up to the new valve. My problem is that it seems like it takes way more preasure to blow the valve off. My sled runs 18 psi of boost for 8 seconds and then drops down to 16 psi and it just seems like the turbo shutters instead of releasing the pressure. The stock valve seems like it blows off at almost no boost when you release the throttle and with the stock one you never hear the shuddering noise at all. Any other input would be great.
Can you replace the spring inside or is a diaphram design?

I have a gready type s bov and there are two spings inside. I took one out so that it will react at lower boost. Rocky from boondockers told me they do this with the RS also. He said the problem is that they sometimes stick open with only one spring. Boondockers are going away from the RS because of this reason.
