Forge BOV green spring too soft?
Hey guys, im using the forge BOV and it has been a little annoying lately during cruising. even with -10 vacuum it makes a loud blow off noise (not full blow off sound but still makes noise), so in 5th gear 70mph, every single time I touch the pedal and let go it blows off.
My question is, should I swap a yellow spring? I feel like it is opening too easy. I bought it used so I didn't get one with it and done want to buy the $20-30 spring kit if others have used it and not had good results. I purposely didn't buy one already because of the people with BPV's that say yellow spring causes flutter.
Does anyone with a forge BOV have the same issues?
****IF you are going to talk crap about a BOV or tell me to remove it just save your time and move on, don't bother posting. *****

You could try a spacer, I dont recall the forge design but you can shim/spacer the back of the spring like 1/16 or 1/8 and that increases the spring load. Just log after and make sure it still dumps enough air after a WOT pull
He's talking about the BOV not the BPV.

Green spring 50,000km+, been on a year+, no problems yet. Need to re-lube soon though. BOV not the BPV. I tried blue and it was too Stiff. Never tried yellow might give it a go someday.
