Adjustment should be fine out of the box. Install it so the vacumn nipple faces the ground, nearest to the fan.

then you will need to flash for that because its losing power and sounding nice all at the same time

Not true. The valve recircs all the air except for when under high boost. You don't have any problem with staling out or such. I just put mine on yeseterday and the car pulls stronger due to my stock bov leaking!

how do you figure that it's losing power? It's a recirculating valve that only opens the secondary port under higher boost. You don't need a flash for this BOV...........

You ask if you APS vents to atmosphere but then say you will need a reflash with it? How can you be a credible source if you had no idea what the APS did? I have an APS bov and I do know for a fact that I never lost any power. Infact I was actually holding boost better up top which is what evodan2004 was feeling.
