mine has never died and i have a blitz non-recirculating kind. it does happen on some models, but i've never had a problem on mine. I had it from the stock boost to now 12psi.

monkihead how do you get 12lbs ? are you using some kind of fco defense ?

are you using a boost gauge ?
where are you measuring boost from ?

just curious
i can't really get past 10 or so . the turbo will give me way more than 10 but i hit fco right around 9-10

i have a sport comp autometer gauge. its connected by the firewall side of the intake plenum. according to the gauge, i hit fco at 12. i caught it off guard once and pegged it to 14. that was cool, but it scared the living crap out of me. i also have a cheezey manual boost controller.

forgot, 89 turbo 5spd

do u have a pic of ur engine bay... and of ur bov installed?


edit where does everyone get their pillar pods from????

[monkihead]

i couldnt find a pic, i forgot to take one before the dissassembly of my car. shes in pieces right now getting a new head gasket.
heres a pic when i just got started...

my bov is connected between the rubber outlet from the fender to the "3000" center section. i have an "s" styled pipe with the blitz bov attached. i can take a pic of it and post later, but it wont be till after 4ish central time.

i used to have the manual controller and would hit spikes once and a while

here's my BOV in between the two rubber elbows .

i think i use the same boost gauge and it's tapped into the upper intake
here is a pillar pod photo


notice the whacked since day 2 stock temp gauge .. how would you feel driving with that gauge sitting where it sits sometimes pegged then all the sudden she'll drop to normal . damn car isn't even started just the IGN to ON in this picture.

i replaced all stock hoses wiith hose from hose techniqueshose tecniques
you can get a kit to replace your whole setup
even the water bottle up front and painted the formed elbow pointing to the ground.

FCO is hit by volume as well as lbs. and i think the position of the sun and moon
days like today are tough for boosting wicked high humidity over 70% and air pressure is 29.92 Hg whatever that is all i know is it's harder to make boost on these august days until night time B)

dam i feel dirty with my engine bay....heres a pic of my bov in the car, just without head intake upper plenum and all the other lil crap...

Getting a piggyback computer gets rid of the studdering with a BOV that vents to the atmosphere. It's because you're losing metered air and confusing the computer.

if something doesn't give me more HP it doesn't make it to the top of the "want" list
