View Full Version : Noobie-esque question. Blitz BOV works but no longer flutters. Spring?

Okay so I've had my car sitting for a while, and back when I used to drive it, my Blitz Bov used to flutter when releasing the pressurized air.

It's this BOV with the first (closest) setup, the Non-filtered one. When I drive and shift now, it just dumps all the air like the spring is set on super loose or something. I tightened the spring by lowering the little thing on the top all the way down, and nothing. Then I thought I might have it backwards and put it all the way up, still nothing. Could anybody confirm that it's the spring which is forcing it to just fully dump the air? Also bonus if you know how to change/where to get a new spring if that is the problem.

I don't know that BOV very well, but generally, fluttering is not good. Maybe it sounds cool to you, but your compressor is telling you to go fuck yourself whenever your BOV flutters.

Although maybe that BOV has something in it to make it flutter just for the sound, but generally, fluttering is due to compressor surge.
