So the bottom port is just a vent?

How is it adjusted, and are there any springs to change out (like a wastegate)?

I found this for the raptor BOV. I will guess the godzilla is the same, so I will hook it up and see what happens.

i have both ports hooked up

one for presence of intake vacuum to suck it open, the other for excess boost pressure to blow it open. i think its a great piece.

set the screw so that it is just sealed at idle.

Thanks MM

Is there any way to make sure it is not bleeding off boost during operation?

Yep, set it up exactly like MM stated and it will not leak.

mecham, that obviously will get the job done, but hooking the other port up to a pressure source between the turbo and throttlebody will make it respond quicker

hmmm.....interesting


i hooked my bov with top port vac and bottom port boost. and it sounds different from a wot run. everything else seems the same...

car doesnt hold requested boost to redline...nothing new there..


i was hoping this might of solved something....o well...at least it sounds different. ie..i can hear the bov more from a wot run.
