Re:Does this BOV give one big swoosh or several?

Well I'm still waiting for the new BOV I ordered off ebay to come in. Yesterday I got a little impatient and I wanted to have boost again

. I went to Home Depot and I found a copper pipe cap 3/4" which is realy 1" and I'm using that as a BOV piston along with a spring I had already. Only a slight air leak at idle comes from the BOV
but I'm able to build 10-11 psi and I'm enjoying my turbo once again.

Damn son, you're ghetto. Just take your *** to the junk yard or auto parts store and pick up a cheapo one. Probably better then that ebay ---- you keep buying.

is it just me or there was some serious surging on that car?
I have HKS on my crx and it does not sound like that, just one solid whistle. I know bov sounds different on different car, but that sounds a bit like surging to me.
