I have Sard R2D2, and mine doesn't stall or given me any problems yet. I was gonna order the recirculation kit if it gave me problems, but it is OK so far.

For those of you who keep telling him to recirc...try reading his original post.

I too had the RS w/recirc and it was a constant hassle adjusting it for part throttle driving. However on the track it would hold 28 psi for me rock steady. I suggest you run a stock valve for daily and keep the Greddy if you plan to race it.

Not true. Not all IX's are Metal. My euro spec IX came with a plastic one instead of metal.

And it's not a BOV. People commonly refer to it as a DV.

+1 1000 on removing the smaller spring. It is easy takes 15 min tops then you just adjust the spring load as needed. It will get rid of the flutter completely.

Is the OP going to do a follow up? Did the spring mod work okay for you or is it another issue?

it definetly WONT get rid of the flutter completely although it helps.... if you got rid of it completely, it means your greddy is set WAY too loose and your not holding boost well now

I agree with mifesto. I tried the single spring mod and the only way it would stop fluttering is if it was set so low that it wouldn't hold any boost.

I noticed it 1k into my new setup and tried endlessly to have it stall with no adval. Its not a problem, its normal, take 2 OCD pills. High 5.
+1, My boy has both springs in his and is running 30psi with ECUFlash... No sputtering and no rich issues at idle... It's a non-issue.

And to those stating that the IX MR BOV is the best, do some research. Alot of R&D goes into everything that Greddy, Forge, and most other companies build. You'll never see a built Evo (or any built turbo car for that matter) with a stock BOV.

ok but a lot of people aren't running 30 psi... and the stock dv is good for 25 psi so it can hold good pressure on bolt ons.
