Don't really know, it was on when I bought the car. The car seems to run ok, it does have a nut at the top, not sure if thats any sort of adjust. I thought the Blitz ones were hard to break !

Actually looking at it, the valve is mounted right at the back of the engine, can the pipe connecting it to the intercooler be too long ? the valve is right back at the bulkhead on a bracket.

Sounds like maybe it has been adjusted so that it only goes off if you hammer it ! might try adjusting the nut on the top a bit !

Hoping I dont blow anything up.............
