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

 

i have never messed with my hsk BOV.i think just screwing it in makes it sound differnt.

 

go to hksusa.com and find there # and talk to 1 of there techs, there actually cool guys and not a bunch of know it alls

 

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 just hope your engine tunning skills are alot better then the skills needed to adjust a BOV.. or else say bye bye to your engine.

 

i bought a used bov and called hks witht he same question and they saaid not even to **** with it

 

Thank you all!

@trainwreck517 Nice picture - I hope it isn´t your engine

 

uhm, arnt you supposed to adjust your waste gate for controlling your boost levels?

 

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