Adjust Hks BOV at 16 PSI

Hi
I have bought the HKS SSQV Kit my 88 Turbo.
My Boost is 1,05 BAR(16 PSI)
I want to know if I have to adjust the Bov?
Or is it already adjusted. And if yes for which Boost level?

Last week I mailed HKS USA but they havn´t answered till now
Please help
Thanks
Olli

can you hear it when you shift? if so, it's pretty much adjusted. Unless it's too loose, then you'll hear it even when boosting. Then tighten it. Not too difficult

He lives in Germany, and I don't think he wants to pay a lot for some phone call to the US.

Either way, the HKS is already adjusted for boost around those levels. They say that thiers does not open until there is lots of pressure and 16psi is a lot on a 13bt.

I think the early (plastic) SSBOV doesn't have an adjustment screw?
If it doesn't you don't need to worry.
