Yeah. I ve noticed it when adjusting the tension spring. I thought buy adding more tension to the BOV, makes the back-pressure harder to purge when the butterfly is in the closed position. If the tension is set to low, it will allow for the back-pressure to purge faster...

Okay thats a good way at looking at it.. Im only running 4psi of Boost right now so I guess the low setting is fine. Thanks for the info.
