Default Does anyone have a GFB Hybrid BOV?

I just got mine today and installed it. It seems like the spring rate is too stiff because the air won't blow off unless it's under HIGH pressure and even then it's a small pssshh. I know it's supposed to be adjustable by playing with the vacumm valve, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

I had one installed before and didn't have any roblems with it but it just seems this one is giving me a hard time.

Default Yup!

I have Chaotic's old ones. They seem to be working properly according to your description. They only really release above 4500rpm from my many observations. It may require some tweaking from Chaotic to make it work optimally.

He would still be the best person to answer your question. Sorry I can't help you more.

Default I actually had one of those valves in my car...

And the one I have is working WAY different than that one. I think the spring rate is increased in mine. I just heard they are revising their springs so I should find out soon hopefully.
