if it is a real RFL bov then im guessing you arent running enough boost to make the RFL work properly. and where do you have the vacuum line hooked up to?
its an ebay one. its hooked up to the thin line off the back of the intake mani.
That is your problem right there. Get rid of that and get one that is not some Chinese junk.
For example, greddy, hks, turbonetics, apexi, tial, There are tons more but these are the ones i can think of off the top of my head
yeah. i wanna get one that has the same type of fitting. its not a bolt on one it just slides on.
get a real TurboXS RFL bov and dont put and washers in it so that takes less boost pressure to work properly.
do the washers go on the top? im running about 5 psi. im hookin up my boost guage tomorrow so i know for sure.
I honestly cant remember where the washers go its been a while sense i have had one apart. and 5psi is not very much for a rfl bov even if its a knock off.
whats a good bov for that ammount of psi
any of the brands i stated above
i would guess not enough vacuum or the screw is adjusted too tight. i pull mine from the brake booster.
on a side note, it's VERY important to get your boost gauge hooked up. if for whatever reason your wastegate doesn't open your engine wont last too long.

The one my buddy had also came with washers too. He ran 8lbs on his setup and the RFL was still too stiff with no washers and all the way lose. just get a diff bov.Would still be just as stiff just not as long.
