Unhappy my Blitz SS BOV wont BLOW OFF???

i have a Blitz SS BOV which i bought from ebay and it will not blow off. the vaccum hose is hooked up theres, vaccum, theres boost but no blow off.

i took it apart it is SUPER hard to push in. maybe they changed the spring? has anyone had any problems like this?

i adjusted it to the softest setting and nothing.

please help if u know.

Check to see if the piston is seized. The Blitz SS is notorious for that. If you want I have a Professor Sheepdog blow off valve for sale.

Is that the old trumpet one?
What a piece of ****.
Turbo II FC is right - the piston tends to seize in the bore.
Take the damn thing apart - you'll see a lot of gouges in the bore cause the piston got cocked sideways and jams.

mine was seized. put it in a vice, with a piece of wood pushing in the piston, then spray some wd 40, or any other oil, keep doing that until it gets smooth.
