Re: phillstubs tial style bov
No offense Phillstubs but you should really just buy the good ---- when it comes to wastegate and BOV's. Buying intercoolers isn't such a big deal because their design and purpose is simple. But things such as wastegates and bov's are not only important to your motor but also the growth of the turbo generation. By purchasing name brand parts you give more money to the growth and enhancement of our wonderful sport. I realize pockets get tight but thats something to think about.

I haven't ran it yet but I'm sure it'll work 100x better than before.
I am going to try and buy the new spring, and see if that does it, if not I guess I have to cut the coils.
BEST ADVICE TO PHILLSTUBS = BUY CDM WG AND BOV SPRINGS!

wait so you're going to spend more money on a new spring, wait for it to come in, then if it doens't work modify the one you already have in your hand for free?
Makes sense to me
I just remembered my bov has some random spring from an autoparts store 5 min from the last track I was at. Halfway one run the top blew off and puked the spring and piston out, luckily the piston was tangled in the wiring harness. I made the next pass with napkins crammed behind the piston so it would hold boost (full throttle shift ftw) while my buddy bought the only $5 spring they had.

No your peanut butter thread is gay! This is actually automotive related. Dont people want honest feedback on this stuff. I have faith in pstubs that is why I bought a $27 dollar spring it is still less than a $210 dollar tial bov. Hopefully with a tial bov spring I will have a quality product that is not ghetto fabbed.
