Re:Homemade BOV??????
That's what he is trying to say. A 16lb. cap will release pressure at 16psi(DUH). I don't know how low you can go with a radiator cap though and if you're going to be running anything near 16psi, you should just spend the extra money for a real BOV.

Geez you guys it's waaay simpler than that. Just get a good old peice of brand new masking tape stick it on a hole in the intake and wala u get too much pressure it comes off. It's great for drag racing if you have an automatic and don't do a burnout off the start.

Re:Homemade BOV??????
actually that's not going to work because your BOV works off of vacuum not boost. the radiator cap might work for like an accessory wastegate piece of crap or something, but it won't blow off any excess pressure.
let me know if my thinking is way off here.
