I have it installed now.
Today I will take some test and adjust the final setting.
In the first experiment the car has stuttered.
I have now the spring force with 3 washers, which are included in the kit, increases.

The sound is awesome. Zzzzzschhhhhhh from over 3,500 rpm

A disadvantage but I have found.
When you drive down a mountain, with over 4,000 rpm
let the BOV constant the air out.
Because the compressor provides a constant charge air
when the throttle is closed and no acceleration is given.

A short movie follows....

BTW:
I have shortened the vacuum hose.
Already 5 centimeter change the previous setting.
The turning the setting is somewhat complicated in installed condition.
It is very difficult to turn the adjusting nut.
Almost no space available. If you have big arms, it is almost impossible.
For that, we have our women

I couldn't figure out what those washers were for lol. I just installed the bov and didn't bother with them.

Can you run it open to atmosphere? I thought that would mess with the map sensors and shut the car off? I tried it but the car would not stay idling.
