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

I know this is an old thread but I came across this thread while searching for information regarding the Tubonetics BOV Godzilla.

I am hoping someone can help

I have part #10656 that does not have the adjustment screw and see there is 10765 that does have an adjustment screw.. If I tap threads and add a port for vacuum on the top and install a bolt would this be the same as 10765 or is there something different?

Also can someone provide a diagram as to where the vacuum hoses need to get hooked up. At idle my car is running rick with the top vacuum connected to intake behind the throttle plate and the bottom port connect at the compressor of the turbo.

As soon as I disconnect the top port and cap the intake car runs perfect. My valve does not have an adjustment screw so not sure if this adjust will solve my problem.

I know this thread is over 20 years old but hoping someone can help "Hail Mary Pass"
