Forge rs bov adjustable?

Im on 30psi and wonder how i know that it is "adjusted" correctly? I have read up some on the topic and it is currently about 8 or 9 turns from all the way to the (-) end. I didn't know if you could over adjust it? Right now it is making 30 psi peak and tapering to about 24-25 and when i first had it it was about 2 turns and it tapered to like 22-23 so i know the turns helped. But i have slight boost surge in high gears but nothing drastic.

No sir. The bov is adjustable there is some stuff out there about adjusting but basically all they say is turn it down if u have a lot of compressor surge. I didn't know I mean I know it helps because it's holding better boost after it peaks

I run 27psi and have mine tuned fully towards (+). I get some minor flutter in 4th adn 5th, depending on the situation.

The pro of tightening it is putting more preload on the spring so it holds boost better.

The con of tightening it too much, is flutter in high gear, low load situations.
