I picked up a used one from Fritz and installed it today. I have two questions. Whats the smaller nipple on the bottom for and what does the "softer"-"harder" adjustment do?

I believe it makes the spring harder and softer. Harder for higher boost levels. If the spring is too soft it will leak under boost, too hard and it will not release



Or something like that

bottom nipple is for high boost applications, it allows the boost to hold the valve closed.

The adjustment nut is to stop compressor surge. It may also effect the sound a little.



Don't worry about the other nipple
