Blow Off Valve (BOV)

hello guys,
about 6 months ago, I bought a HKS Super Sequantial Valve Blow Off.
But after I apply that I noticed some turbo lag problem.. I heard from someone there is an adjustment on BOVs.. Does anyone hear smt like that? and do you know my BOV model has that adjustment? Is there anybody apply that BOV application to help me?

Thank you..

I believe the SSQV is non adjustable..at least for the new models. The reason for the turbo lag, engine hesitation, stuttering, any of those symptoms is due to venting metered air that the car is expecting back into the intake tract. My suggestion is research on the recirculation kit for the HKS bov's to send that air back into the intake tract as per stock specs so the maf doen't go nuts. You will still get quicker response after a shift + nice sound as well.

I have one BTW.

I did get it from Hector. And you are correct as there is no recirc line. I'm looking for a solution at the moment. Any input is certainly welcomed.
