the pic where the bov is right next to the “intake sensor” is misleading, that sensor is only wired in as a IAT, and i didnt wanna convert to blow-thru so thats the reason its recirculated, its still quite loud when it blows off. P.S. intense98rt…when i took you for the ride it had an exhuast leak thats why i knew it wasnt pullin as hard as the day before…i also got the boost guage workin and i was only makin 5psi with the leak, so ill let ya know later what happens now with it fixed ---

as long as you dont dump the clutch all the time it should handle the power for a while because i ran my for 4000 miles with no problem then my return oil line poped off and caused me to run low on oil and eventually spun a bearing. but i am going with a four puc when i do change it this winter there are pretty cheap only 288 shipped. ---
