rotas, i am not sure what the real-deal vs knockoff ethics are on this forum. But personally i cant spend 1k$ on wheels that are used and nearly 10 years old. These are rotas, and brand new for half the price

x10. (I wish HMT had the :thumbup The problem was a bad distributor, either having the chip in backwards fried it or it was just going bad anyway and the poor running put the nail in the coffin. Onto a new problem/Questions/issues:The Bov i have is a cheap ebay RVM (purple greddy knockoff). I havent been really pushing wot or super high rpm but... when i close the throttle after boosting the turbo/bov is making a fluttering sound similar to a hks super sequential valve. I am led to believe that the bov isnt opening but rather the compressor is releasing the air from the charge pipe, no? So i disassemble the bov and remove one of the two springs, I have also backed the set screw out quite a bit. I still am not positive that the valve is opening all the way (still fluttering), any easy way to check? (keep in mind the car is only running low boost ~6psi).
Thanks for all the help so far
