I have a bv57 bypass valve and was reading that it has some adjustment, however it seems that most say to just leave it open. I'd like to adjust it a little to make it close a little sooner than around 0 vaccum to help part throttle a bit. Is this OK? I assume that the only real issue may be that it won't vent all the boost at redline? If I test it and get no compressor surge, I should be good to go correct?
The bv57 is also kind of annoying just driving around. Sounds like I got a window cracked most of the time. If I decide to replace it, what would you guys reccomend that might be a bit quieter, or at least something that sounds better.
My paxton also has a beefcake torque booster with 10 psi spring. When I tested it, I noticed that crack pressure was around 5 psi or so, and obviously full open was @ 10. I'd like to try and keep it full closed until 10 to hopefully pick up a little power in the mid range. Will a MBC be able to help with that or does it need to be an EBC. I have heard conflicting info. Ive also heard that when using any boost controller, you want to use a spring that is a fair amount weaker than what you want your target boost at. For instance, if you want 12 psi, it would be easier for the boost controller to keep it sealed until 12 psi with a 5 psi spring in the WG instead of a 10 psi spring. Is this correct? Is this worth the time and effort? I can only assume it is, because until target boost is reached, it's just a boost leak, but idk. Thanks in advance for any help.
