It adjust how easy it lets out the pressure. If your venting having it too soft will cause you to stall out when letting go of the gas. Not everytime but I seen this on autos and 5 speeds.

simply what was mention. i believe it for adjusting spring inside. Hard just means it requires more boost pressure to fully open. So if your pushing alotof boost and dont want to leak, adjust it to hard and test it. Soft is the opposite for ppl running lower boost and want it to fully open when needed.

Does it actually have the Greddy sticker on it? Or is the top just plain?
