HKS SSQV BOV Owners!! Need Help

I took my car to Ron Price today for a tune-up(last time I go there)....It seems like they tighted my BOV adjustable nut all the way. It came from the factory(HKS) preset to a certain setting. Anyone know what the factory setting is, or how I can fix this.

*Please no comments on why I have a bov, blah blah *


Any help is great

Yes, That is correct...all the little nut does is hold the **** in place so it doesnt loosen/tighten up when you are driving....it just locks the **** down and prevents it from turning.

SO, yes. loosen the nut to free the ****....then, when the car is idling, loosen the **** until air starts to leak out....then tighten the **** back up until the air stops leaking out, then retighten the nut so the **** will stay locked in that position.

and then smile and say to the dealership for messing it up.
