I'm running 22lbs on a stocky and it holds boost beautifully... I am also running swift sport springs and it drops it JUST a lil bit without affecting the ride too much. It's still a little bouncey but not terrible

If your not lookin into a big drop, some nice H-Tech Springs from Tein, or Tanabe Springs are very nice springs.

BOV FTL...unles you are thinkin about a recirculation setup. Otherwise stick with the stocker

Springs are simple to do, if your machanically inclined somewhat, and can do an oil change, then springs arent to hard.
Plus its a good learing experience.

I ran the perrin recirc and it was okay. It held boost up to about 24ish. you can crush your stock bov and hold up to 24 as well. you might have a little surge at that point but its nothing crazy.

there are a few different ways you can modify the stock bpv, you through it and see what you think about it.

In your situation I would keep the stock bpv and modify it.

I would consider the Cobb Sport Springs.
The ride quality isn't harsh or bouncy and the
handling is greatly improved.

i would keep the stocker on there. no need to mess with it or spend money on a part that will hold 19 just fine.

does it hold at 19, or just peak at 19?
