I Need A Favor!!!

Do any of you have an aftermarket BOV laying around that you would let me borrow for a few hours? Any type. HKS, Blitz, GFB, Forge, ETC. I will give it right back.

I have suspected that my stock by-pass valve has finally bit the dust, becaus I have not heard it let off pressure in a long time. Also, when going into 2nd and 3rd gears, it seems as though my VF22 is working extra hard to re-spool. I think it may be caused from the stock bypass valve not releasing enough pressure, and in turn pushing the compressor wheel in the wrong direction.

Please let me know. I will even rent it if need be.

Thanks.

Rob,

Can you bring that stock bypass valve to Big Dogs Grill this Thursday. I need to try it out and see if my stock bypass valve has kicked the bucket.

Hmmm you know, I'm experience similar things with a stock turbo (which, admittedly, I push hard). I can barely hear it push off any more. However, with my Blitz Spec-R, boost hold really solid up top.

Let us know what happens.

I've got my stock BOV in my trunk as well as tools to swap them. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Thanks Dave and Ted for the offers. Rob is going to let me borrow his stock bypass valve for a day so I can see if I am really having a problem or not.

Thanks again.
