I have the TurboXS Type-H RFL BOV and I been playing around with all the washers that came with it, How exactly do i know how many to put in and when they are working correctly?

I have had both the type-s and RFL on my car. The function of the washers is to adjust spring tension. The only thing you really need to be concered with is the idle, don't play with them to change the sound because it won't make that much of a difference. Start the car and let it reach normal temp and idle. Make sure the BOV is not leaking at idle. If it is add a washer and try until it stops leaking. When I had the RFL, it was fine out of the box, didn't need to add any washers at all.

yea, the RFL has a stiffer and longer spring so it usually comes ready to go, on the type h 3-4 washers seems to be the norm. also, if you go with the RFL make sure that you point the outlet "horn" down or to the side preff down, so trash and stuff cannot get down inside the bov. when this does happen the valve will stick and you have to remove the brass piston and take a brillo pad, steel wool, fine sand paper or something like one of thoses and just sand the outside of the piston surface in a manner that will leave a cross hatch pattern like how a cyllinder looks after honing.
