-installation in this manner results in a win/win situation, the ONLY compromise is slightly reduced diaphragm life. This a VERY easily serviced diaphragm (2 minutes), and the unit comes with 3 of them.

Bringing this thread back for a similar question, I am currently running the green spring with the boost coming to the bottom of the valve. My BOV wasn't working properly, but it started working this weekend (due to other work). Now the boost begins to bleed off at 4-5 psi. Should I "flip" the valve as per ST's suggestion so that the boost comes to the side port? Will this hold boost until 15-16 psi?
