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.

Seems like it turned out good...but just a question...does anyone have a hkss ssqv and has NOT adjusted it, if so can u count the threads from the nut and ****...i know it sounds like a hassle, but it'll be great...
