If you Google around the Greddy Type RS (real) one which this one is essentially an identical clone of, you'll find that a ton of people have issues with it and are forced to remove one spring simply because low boost pressure can't open the valve, regardless how much vacuum is seen above the diaphragm, it still requires a certain amount of pressure to push the spring back and vent the boost from the charge pipe. A weaker springs shouldn't do anything under boost as the pressure is equal on the top and bottom of the valve (manifold pressure and charge pipe pressure), but when the throttle's closed and the usual 20-22 inHg is pulling at the top of the diaphragm, you still need a certain amount of pressure to be able to compress the two springs in the valve. The two springs are too stiff for low boost, as I've read on multiple sites, so I'm guessing when I remove one, it should work fine.
Believe me, once I get a few bucks, I'll get a different one. And HPTuners. <-- Maximum priority right now.

Is that trans cooler still on there somewhere?

It's sitting at the shop, along with the supercharger and header and such that I was supposed to ship out and then realized Speed Industry wasn't open this Friday, and then flew to Texas the next morning. It was never hooked up, but I plan on putting it back on behind the intercooler and hooking it up.

I haven't really worked much on a 2.4 but make sure the vacuum source for your BOV isn't ported. That could definitely affect how well it works. Are there any other vacuum sources to use on it? Preferably one at the throttle body?

What do you mean ported? I think I have it directly hooked to the throttle body. Again it's just a super stiff spring setup I'm thinking.
Compressor surge does sound pretty sweet though.
