GReddy Type S BOV Info
Just posting this so if anybody gets the Type-S BOV, they will know what to do.
Out of the box, you'll notice that the GReddy Type S is super stiff. Even if you adjust the screw (or even take it all the way out), the valve is still too stiff. You need to take the cap off the BOV, holding it all together as you remove the 6 screws (so it doesn't pop off). You'll see 2 springs kind of coiled together. Remove the thicker sping. It'll allow you to open up at lower boost. I just found out because I was getting compressor surge. It's all good now.
If you are boosting 8psi and above, put the thicker one back in, and take out the thin one.
