Pros: The louder the BOV, the more teenyboppers you will attract at high school parking lots
Cons: You may also attract the child safety committee

I know of the nut and bolt out on the back that's used for adjusting the spring tension or whatever. Tighter - holds more boost, loose - blows off at lower boost.
Mine isn't that loud either. I think it's adjusted too tight. My friend has the same one on his Supra and it's LOUD.

Doesn't it "flutter" when you have compressor surge? Isn't that a bad thing?

i think when it's hard, the pressure wave heading back to the turbo has to be stronger to push it open, hence the BOV opening less.. less open = more hiss!

What's the best setting for the Spring Adjustment (default seems about midway).

My unit came with only Jap instructions and I don't want to cause any damage to the turbos!
