Just bought 1 and wanted to know is it normal for the valve to go up and down by you just pushing on the bottom of it?

 

i dont think the spring should be that soft, but i dont know about the aps bov

 

It shouldn't move by hand

 

Yes, I can move mine by hand.

 

if u push it hard enough it move, but it won't move alot.

 

It's perfectly fine for it to move my hand.

 

Mine moves by hand.

 

The piston is easy to move due to the softness of the spring. I sold mine because it wasn't good for anything above 25psi, awesome driveability though. Maybe a stiffer spring can be sourced for it.

 

Not 100% true. There are plenty that use that bov in applications seeing over 30psi

 

I know people that spike to 30psi but then drop quick. I installed a greddy type s gained 2psi at redline, then changed that to a forge rs and added another 1psi making a total from aps to 3psi at redline.

 

I want to know how they do it... cause mine sure as hell leaks.

 

Im pretty sure Mellon uses the aps bov and he is making 700+whp

 

if this is true, im just going to return it and go AEM to use my Tial Q. Cuz honestly i havent really seen any other BOV that can hold 30psi+ without having ppl right reviews of Leaking.

 

1) Did you guys teflon tape the adjustment threads?

2) Did any of you guys adjust the screw in until it was flush with the top of the nut?

3) Did you guys just assume that it would work straight out of the box?

Couple questions to ask yourselves before trashing a great product. This is WELL documented in one thread that Mellon started way back when he was having issues with the Forge and then promptly swapped it out for an APS Twin vent and others chimed in on ways to improve the performance of the APS.

But then again, I don't know anything...

 

uhuh im listening....
