back to the subject of the way my evolution is acting and the fact that i am 50% turbo illiterate. what would be the correct way to tune it and what are the pro's and cons of "softer or harder" adjustment. that valve should not vent at idle but how much tighter should it be???

the 'softness/hardness' is how much boost the valve actually opens before it opens/how it actually opens. A setting to hard or too soft can actually create a book leak/flutter/low boost holding capibilities. I'd recommend starting soft and working you way harder. You'll know when its right.

whats going to be my tell tail sign that its right, i'm not sure what i'm looking for. do you or anyone have any recomendations on a good place or book it read up on some turbo tech.?

Here is a decent source if you can weed between the bs and the straight and arrow. Books, go do an amazon search.
Not sure on many evo related sites, but the big dsm sites offer some good tech info (again see disclaimer above).
You'll know when its right when the 'flutter' is gone, the boost doesn't leak at idle, and the car is strong and holds the amount you want to run.

DSM-Talk (http://www.dsmtalk.com)
DSM-Tuners (http://www.dsmtuners.com)

Both great places to start. There should be more than enough info on both of those boards about your BOV.

thanks

i found a bomb ass site with the info i needed on my problem. it seems like a cool site anyone with an evo should check it out if they haven't already.

There are so many reasons why that is a bad idea...more unmetered air to screw up how the car runs, unfiltered air, totally ghetto, and the list goes on.
You are worried about a little air when you are cutting a MAS in half and soldering some resisters in? I can tell you now that your MAS is worse than a breather filter sucking in a little air on the recirc tube.
