I have a ebay "greddy" Type RS BOV and I just had MS installed so with the IAT in, we took off the AFM and there was compressor surge. I adjusted the nut on the BOV and tried to loosen it as much as possible, no luck.
I then took out the BOV and took it apart and took off the inner spring and left the outer spring in. I then put it all back together. Now there's flutterdump. Went around the block multiple times adjusting the screw and ended up at it's softest point. Still flutterdump. Like this:
but the delay is not as long.
I notice it only happening at lower RPMs, while the BOV make a "pew" sound. At higher rpm and when boost is around 6psi and up it makes a loud WHOOOSH sound, all bov no surge/flutter (sounds almost identical to the video around 0:50 sec)
My question is do I need a bigger/stiffer spring or smaller/softer?
I have yet to try to "inner spring" which is smaller, but just thought I'd ask anyways.
Any input?

"Synapse" is well known for making up marketing crap for their Chinese built **** sold as an answer to a problem that no one has.
Its also really easy to put a lighter spring in and have the valve open faster...and in vacuum to suck in dust.
