Default I'm getting some serious boost surges when trying to full boost.

I'm peaking really lown then surging around 18 to 20 psi. I know I have some sort of boost leak but im wonrdering if the surging point mroe to the bpv? I'm replacing it soon anyway because im also getting a really nice honk if i give it full boost then let off quickly.

Default hey Alex,

I'm sorry I didn't remember who I needed to call for the Spec clutch.

PS: you car looked awsome at the GTG

Default clutch broken in yet?

I got my launches down now. too bad my car is slow without a new bpv. I actually think im going to go with a bov. IT has absolutely nothing to go with the sound but from my point of view, I haven seen one BPV that is actually reliable. The greddy bov is a piston and will hold some serious boost. Also after reading up on BOVs I really believe that it will work effectively one my car. If not then I'll just re route it as a bpv.
