Forge RS setting at 22 psi?

Where I should set the adjustment knob/spring on my Forge RS to hold 22 psi on 91 octane?

If I start BEFORE the first click, how many clicks do people recommend for 22 psi?

TIA

The RS is the BOV. You will have to test it until you get it to where it holds boost as well as possible without causing you too much compressor surge. You have to adjust it until you get it right.

There are no springs with the BOV. It's fully adjustable. Are you guys getting the RS mixed up with the UNOS MBC?

The RS is adjustable with a fixed spring. Mine came with no extra springs.

You have to find out on your own. It's different on every car, especially yours with a different turbo.

Well after searching through post after post, I found some people had adjusted to nearly 20 positve clicks where others had only set 4. I found that since most had it set closer to 20 I would try that. I do not have a boost gauge so I couldnt get a readings but it drove fine like that. I did notice that during highway driving with partial throttle in 5th gear the car would feel as if it wanted to surge. I dont know exactly how to describe it. I have recently readjusted it to 11 clicks and it seems to be much better but I havent been able to get it to highway speeds yet as I change it yestreday.

You have an aftermarket BOV but no boost gauge? I think I'm going to be ill....
