The POS doesnt work at all! It won't hold vacuum at all! At least the one on my car holds a little vacuum. I don't blame PES...afterall why should they test a new unit.
Any way...now I got wait till next week to fix my car. *sigh*

Default Hah! Mine was too!

It wasn't until WYSIWYG helped me install my upgraded kit that I realized it was installed backwards. I had it like that for years thinking it was the correct orientation!

Default according to some people it actually works better that way.

a bunch of vwvortex ppl are putting it in that way on the theory that when the piston moves horizontially it can hold more boost then when it's vertical.

beats me, and i have no real desire to try it, but interesting none the less.

Default Umm yes, a cold side SC, hot side turbo setup...didn't you know?

But then i was talking to Dom and he told me i have this big hole in my fuel map...and then azn bikers shot up my ride...but i still got to sleep with Dom's sister...so its a wash.

(Didn't know your BPV was different than what we used).

Cheers,
Sameer
