Thanks again. I read that in your past thread about the delay.

What valve are you using with your FMIC? BTW, thanks again for the clarification. Good stuff to know.

They both do! That's the problem. :-)

But I will do it the WYSIWYG way. Try one way and do some runs...and then try the other way and do some runs. The better numbers win. :-)

Back pressure?

The valve will always have pressure on one side and vacume on the other caused by the turbo since the turbo is doing all the work. The vac line will have either vac or pressure depending on the state of the manifold.

BTW if you switch the way the BPV is you just change which side the pressure/vac is on the valve.

Well I had 3 different stock valves in but they were all bad.

2 of my good friends had a spare 110 porsche valve laying around, so I installed it at the drags and it has been holding great so far on the 2 liter K04 setup I have.

Just spoke with Stratmosphere and APR regarding this

both said they had either never heard of changing the orientation of the DV or they didn't recommend it. Where are you guys getting this information from?
