How should my BOV be set?

OK, I got the boost turned up to 10 PSI on my stock S5 turbo, and it pulls hard, feels awsome, and the BOV sound sweet! (a Sard R2D2)



But I've notice no matter were I adjust it, it doesn't seem to make a difference in the sound, when it opens, or if it leaks! I've had it all the way in, as tight as it would go, and all the way out at the loosest, and just about ever were inbetween. Can't figure it.... And I can't read the instructions, because they're in Japanese....


Anyone got any idea's on what going on? Or should I not even worry about it.

I would say that if its not bleeding boost, and you can't hear the compressor surging (usually a 'wub wub wub' type sound ) you should be ok.

But I'm broke



And I just saw a 1930 Model A highboy roadster for sale locally, and I'm in love!
