Default Dumb Question But I Need Help

Hey i have an 2003 evo 8 and i have a greddy blow off valve install on my car. Turnin it to the hard does what and turnin it to the left does what. Sorry stupid question but i jus wanna know. and rite now, its makin a flutter sound. is it supposed to sound like that, and is it bad for my turbo. Because ive heard serveral greddy blowoff valve that doesnt sound like that. Its a greddy type rs blowoff valve.

As long as you still have that little pipe connected, your fine : )

All it does is depress the spring a little more (harder) and when you loosen it, it makes the spring looser (softer). Harder will make the sound crisper, but too hard wont let the air out efficiently enough. Too soft and it might not hold all the boost properly. Most likely its fine where it is.

Yeah its connected back into the intake. thanks alot for everythin man. hey but i do notice one thing though. after i installed the greddy rs valve, im hittin alot higher boost than i do in the stock bov. is that what its suppose to do. and everytime when i switch gears, it seems my rpm would drop down alot faster. turbo lag i think thats what its called. im sure i have it recirculated and its installed rite.
