whats people take on this piece?
The install took me 10 mins and I havent had a single idle issue, I can take my car to full boost in any gear put the clutch in and let the rpms drop with NO bounce (stock airbox and maf) The car has zero flutter from just letting off the gass from boost too. This bov is THE best bov I have ever seen. This comes from someone who has owned almost every type of mayjor bov there is. I cant recomind it enough.

Depends...i get that here and there. Doesnt always do it. Ive grown accustomed to slowly letting off the gas and i rarely have this happen anymore. I dont get it in 5th gear. Mostly my power gears...3rd, maybe 4th. It could have something to do with the screw setting. I am tempted to play around with it.

Set it and forget it, works in this application, for me and many others.

aps bov

When I first got my aps bov I put it on backwards. Once it was on correctly it worked awesome. It is not a loud bov but seems very effective.

The white arrow on the backside of the bov facing ou when you open the hood is the adjusting nut (allen key) for how tight or loose the valve will be.

It comes set fine. But you can fine tune it if you wish.

Thanks for all your orders guys. We have these on the shelf so the backorder is over. We plan on having them instock all the time.

Let me know if you have any questions. We have installed these and played with them and know all about them.

that could be a bit confusing. You'll want to stick the hex in the top of the screw. Youll see it.

haha the funny thing is i came back to edit my response to put in locking nut.

Yeah, I definitely like the APS better than the MR bov which I had.
No studdering or idle problems here, all I hear is whoosh!
My MR bov had stalling issues?
