Default How can you tell your BPV is in bad shape?

I have the infamous MC bypass valve from way back when. It did improve shifting and overall feel. I notived that there was a coke bottle humming after i installed it, but ignored it since it was no big deal. Now i notice that i am getting boost spiking between shifts, especially from 3-4, and 4-5. This gets annoying, because it slows me down considerably. Anyways, I was thinking about investing in a Forge one(AWE's) Any thoughts would be very welcome.

thanks,

Default Well I am still using my EVO/Turbo5 valve with my PES T28 kit and

it is still working better then any other BPV I have used. BTW are you ever going to go to the drags? I am still waiting to run against a Stage 3 that can keep up with me.
