I ran it down the street to see if it would make a difference or not. It made a funny almost musical note the first time it relieved and a sort of shuttering sound the second time. I went home right after that last one and kept the turbo from spooling up. I replaced the stock bov because I wasn't sure if that was the correct sound it should make. Soon I'm going to try and get a small piece of sheet metal and fabricate a bracket to mount it up the right way. Any ideas on why it would make that wierd noise? Or is that the way it's supposed to sound?
P.S. Thanks a lot to Tom who was patient enough to answer my questions even though I did wake him up.

IMO: i would assume loosen. since that noise is usually caused by the boost bouncing off the turbo fins (compresser surge bad). meaning your bov is not letting out all the boost (too tight/ bov open and closing=flutter sound)...just trial and error and you should get it right sooner or later...

i get that cool sound everytime im on low boost....low boost flutter should not be a problem b/c its low boost...get it?

im thinkin tighten, but have you put in any washers? i remember tellin you that on the phone, did you ever do it? you need them bad boys in there...THEN worry about tightenin/loosenin...cause the spring will naturally loosen up.
