I just purchased and installed the Turbosmart Kompact Dual port, and currently have no washers in it with almost fully tightened up, Pretty sure that there isnt any leaks when idiling but just wanted to make sure its right so im wondering if anyone else has the same BOV running stock boost and if you used the washers or not?

Has anyone put the cap in it to plumb it back? Does it quiet it down much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
