Lightbulb Forge Recirc. BOV....help needed

Any recomendation on where to set the screw at when first installing the Recirc. Version? I'm installing mine today and wanted to ge able to have a reference point to start with then tune from there. If I am correct, the screw too far out and the car will have bogging issues? Too far in and it won't release pressure? Any recomendations would be helpful. I read the article: Project EVO BOV Install....pretty nice....but I wanted some other peoples views too.

Thanks

I would do a search, I think someone stated that exactly in the middle was the correct setting for their EVO VIII

Nevermind. I was thinking of the Perrin short throw. I sell Forge BOV's also

There is no screw adjustment for the Forge Recirculating BOV. It is plug-n-play, fire and forget. Just install it. If you are running increased boost levels and need to adjust the BOV to hold the increased pressure, you can change the internal spring with stronger ones available from Forge.

Or if you have adjusted any screw on the Forge it needs to go all the way back in.
