Yeah, I can't figure out if my boost flutter is from breakup or the BOV opening under boost. It sounds like it might be the BOV because I hear some squeaking when it does it.

But I have seen several cars in the past that blew air out of BOV during idle, but never such in.. I had to make sure that was true last night when I had my hood open.. Just to make sure
Good luck!

Ok guys, unfortunately I win this one and I have the pics to prove it. I say unfortunately because it means that I'll be selling my BOV and probably the elbow with it.
Here are the pics.
The first one I just used plastic wrap because I didn't have any latex gloves. Then I got to thinking, what else do I have that's latex? That's right ..... condoms!!
You can see the before and after.
In the 4th pic, you can see that I've got the screw tightened as far as it will go and the valve barely opens at all. It's pretty hard to press the valve in with my hand too.

I really don't think you have that much to worry about. I have a brand new Tail and it does the same thing, if I understand you correctly.
At idle, the BOV is wide open, however the second I touch the throttle, it instantly closes (without being under boost). Only at idle does it stay open, and lets face it, nobody here cruises down the freeway at idle, we're always under throttle, whether it be hard or soft. This freaked me out as well, until I was told that's just the way they are, I just don't think too many people notice that.
If the car is running fine, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're worried about unfiltered air, take the horn off and put a big *** filter on it.

Do you have the 9 or 11 lb spring?

mmmm, that's a good question, and I suppose I should know the answer to that. Unfortunately, I don't know. I didn't do the install, I had it installed when I had some custum IC piping done, so I'm not sure which one they used, but the car was being built for 450wrhp @ 18psi (this was on the FJ20ET)

So is there a solution to this problem or will this setup just never work properly on an FD?
Also, are you sure it's not attributed to this: "The real unique feature of the GReddy Type-RS blow off valve is the CNC machined 8 discharge ports that draw
in the surrounding air to amplify the blow-off sound. The Greddy Type-RS is compatible with the standard GReddy flanges." ???
I might be interested in buying your setup for what you're asking...I just don't want to have any problems.

They're saying that there aren't any problems with it. I just think I'm gonna go a different route. I really like the way the BOV looks and sounds so that kinda sux.

you guys are on crack! my BOV DOES NOT release any air at idle or vaccuum...i actually had to loosen the screw because when i slightly...slightly...revved the engine i would hear the weird whistling compressor surge noise
i also do not even see the screw stem in ur pictures

why the hell are you all putting rubber gloves on your charge piping?

If it doesn't suck in air at the flange, then my guess is that your BOV diaphram might be broken and sucking in air. But either case, I personally don't think it will damage your engine unless its going to suck in a nice size metal thru it.. Remember there are many 7 owners with single running without filter or with metal mesh for filter. Also I'm guessing vacuume pressure isn't much to really suck something big.
Good luck! Hope you get everything working correctly!

I don't like having the valve open at idle so I'm switching to another type of BOV.

What vacuum does your car run at idle? Mine runs -18 in Hg and my Profec B reads -85 or -8.5 psi. When my engine is cold, it runs -20+ in Hg.
Maybe if we know what your manifold vacuum is, we can get to the bottom of this.

Either A) My spring is weaker than yours. Could be a possibility.
or
B) You've got your's tightened so far that it won't open. Does the BOV vent when you let off?
or
C) you're not pulling the same vacuum at your BOV that your Profec is seeing.
I can make mine not open at idle too but then again, it won't open ever.
I'm not worried about it, I'm moving on to a different type of BOV altogether. Thanks for the insight guys.

Where is your vacuum source? Is it routed from the UIM nipple or somewhere else?
