crushed first gen BOV?

i've heard a few things that a crushed BOV can be used to hold more boost but i've also heard that it'll make the BOV sound louder

"my guy"? is that like "my mechanic"? Not that 17 inHg isn't alot when considering the opening of the DSM valve or anything. Crushing it requires even more vacuum.

In my experience with other BOV's, I would assume that the DSM will be louder crushed. I could be wrong, it's happened once before.

Re: crushed first gen BOV?

The DSM bypass takes close to 17 inHg to start opening in the first place. With boost pressure this number drops somewhat but is still high. Crushing it only makes it worse.
