TurboSmart Bov Setting

So I just installed this on my car last night and I checked out the forums to see how I should have it set. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. I currently have it turned over to harder but not the whole way. Is that okay? The car seems to be running fine and the bov sounds great.

My mods are as far as the exhaust and intake go are

K&n intake vortec system
cat delete
straight pipes

As long as you aren't getting any flutter while driving and the valve is closed at idle you should be good!

Yea I was getting just a little this morning but adjusted it more so hopefully that will get rid of the flutter.

Have you oiled the valve yet? They come pre-oiled, but it doesn't hurt to add some extra, especially with the temps we have now.

Yup, you need to use valve oil though. Sewing machine oil works perfectly.

You shouldn't have to, but you could always just feel the piston to see if theres oil on there now. If it gets dry, or dirt build up, it'll scratch the piston which could lead to leaks down the line.
