Yes we have tried that but the spring is way to stiff, like the preload isnt correct. Takes a new spring with smaller wire to make it work correct.

Had a few guys ask about which BOV it is and I keep meaning to snap a pic.
The one my spring fits is the flat silver one that bolts on to the end of the intercooler with 3 little bolts. If you have this style on any MCX intercooler it will fit. The older nytro had a BOV that went onto the intercooler with a short rubber hose, the spring WONT fit that style. I will get a pic soon. Thanks guys.

We tried cutting the stock spring down as well as Thistle had the last spring made softer, we cut that down as well. They were an improvement, but this last spring is the answer. My nytro was running the best it ever has. no more flutter out of the air intake, bov worked perfectly. get them ordered up before they are gone.
I have a set or these springs for sale. I ordered a set and I didn't know that they were for the other style blow off valve.
Got more springs so pm me for details. Out riding and they work so much better. Thanks guys
Well just rode for 2 more days with the new spring and I can't believe the difference!!! I know there's alot of MCX sleds out there!!! This is a easy install and a nice addition to a great running kit.
All springs in the mail today...thanks guys.
Still have some left! PM me for details thanks

Any other guys with the 180 kit try these, i just installed mine and went for a ride. I never noticed any difference with about 8lbs of boost, never heard the valve open once, i tried wide open throttle and then off and then tried pumping throttle wide open and off a few times. Now this was in a flat field and not in the mountains but i expected to hear something different. Anybody else?
You will hear a gush of air under the hood and that's it. Before most air came out the intake as a chirp or squak. The engine has to be loaded and under boost and the throttle chopped. Sold a ton of these now with great results

Thanks Snafu, its pretty cold out here today, maybe with all my gear on i just couldn't make out the sound. With the difference in the two springs being so drastic i guess i was just waiting for something that maybe wasn't supposed to he there. I took the blow off valve off again just to make sure everything was installed correctly, i will put it back on and try again tomorrow when its supposed to be a bit warmer out.
Yup and the chirp isn't a good sound. Lots of guys think that's the bov but it's not what makes that sound is the gush of air coming all the way back from where it came from in the intake sock. It's stalling the fast spinning impellor which makes more lag because it's stopped again and it's hard on your turbo.

Thanks Thistledoo, after doing some more reading about these blowoff valves i'm really glad i upgraded, i know i was only running 8lbs of boost but it was there instantly, no lag at all, thanks again.

I just got my apex MCX BOV working properly, well back in december... I got an adjustable turbosmart and even had to trim that spring, once you get the BOV working properly these MCX kits are awesome, plus it will ensure longevity of the kit... Wish this thread would have been out before I fixed mine...lol

All i can say is buy that spring, its makes wonder to the spoolup time and the throttle response. I love it!! And Sweden loves it!!
all shipped thanks guys...
Still getting alot of inquireys.....this spring works!!:becky:
Getting in alot of reports from all over and everyone says its a must....
