have the same 50mm rip off one, worked out of the box no problems

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

Birdly, that may just be an issue with your BOV. if you are interested, i can see about doing a warranty exchange. i cant do anythign if you cut the spring though, so if you cut it, its yours no matter what.

this is the first problem i have heard of with anything i have sold. there is a first time for everything and i knew the day would come eventually. even name brand parts mess up, maybe just not as often

i do try to use as much of my stuff as possible and so far it has all worked perfectly for me and a few locals

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

why would cutting th e spring void the warranty on a cdm bov? whats the spring worth .50 cents? ---- last time i contacted ssac about a fucked up fire ring they just sent me a whole new wastegate no questions asked, because they cost $5

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

I would send it back but I ordered aluminum charge piping and with the tial bov came a ss flange pipe, so I tig welded the bov onto the normal, smaller aluminum flange on the charge piping, instead of using the v-band. I did not think I would have this type of problem.

Whats your setup and what does your car idle at in -hg vac.

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

it voids the warranty cause i have to send it back to them. if they see a cut spring then they wont credit me. they cost the manufacturer $5, but they cost me a lot more.

a bov welded onto charge pipe defiantly makes it non returnable. lol

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

My Pile of ---- pulls 22 " vacuum at idle vlave is closed at idle, but works perfect

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

Well its kinda hard to return an item complete if one of the components needs to be welded. Ie the bov was gunna get welded or I was gunna buy a new flange that was aluminum. Both create non-refundable situations.

My friend gave me a ching chong HKS SSQV Knock Off, looks just like Phil Stubbs. But I doubt it is. The ------ C-clip didnt fit, so I had to buy a different snap ring. Then the ------ thing didnt open... So I read a thread on here that someone found you run the SSQV with no spring, and it would close once you got any positive pressure... Did that, and havent had a problem since. Opens quick as ----, and I still hold boost just fine.

Im willing to bet that the majority of CDM BOVs have stiff springs in them. Then again, my car doesnt pull -20hg at idle, probably closer to -15hg. It seems to hit -20 when I let off the throttle, then go back up to -15hg.

Re: phillstubs tial style bov
 

Thats and intersting concept. I will cut the spring to ---- before I take it out.
