MAXFLOW RACE BOV ADJUSTMENT

[205.0]

Currently attempting to adjust my maxflow race BOV. I was having issues losing boost because it was not set right. How would I go about setting the BOV right?

Before you adjust it where do you have it's vacuum signal sourced from?

It's out of the car with the regular BOV in right now. But I'm not sure when it goes back in. I was just going to adjust it and give it back to my installer to put in Thursday along with my cat deletes.

The "race" valves MUST have a very clean vacuum source. IE: like dedicated port on the manifold. Since they have much higher springs for much higher boost they are very delicate.

Reason #342 supercharger companies will tell you not to use them on the street kits.

Do you think the tial 50mm would be a better option? I'm on 10-11 psi and don't think the stock bypass likes it much.

Thanks for this fighting similar issue now, with boost bleeding too soon since install, will check with tuner how they set it up.

What's your setup??

What's your setup??

Paxton 2200 3.6 pulley jlt intake option, peaking around 10.5 psi according to the electronic boost gauge that's in the dash

The bypass it came with is fine imo.

Can you explain? Do you mean the jet noise that starts to come in around 2k when you are at half throttle?

Not sure, I haven't driven it since install, has been at the tuner's shop, just doesn't make the boost it should, even with the 3.8 pulley it should make more than 8.5 lbs at 7k, but it has the 3.33 on it, belt isn't slipping supposedly. It has T bolts and not hose clamps, supposedly good there, so we are left with Maxflow BOV or the Hypergate (restrung again with a 5 and 7).

very rare for the bov to not work correctly

The electronic boost gauge is infered and you shouldn't make assumptions based upon that.

Get a mechanical gauge to know for sure.
