Then give me your BOV, then, because when i finally build my stroker motor in my Eclipse i'll need a better one than the factory one that can stand up to the amount of boost i intend to throw at it, to make damn sure i don't blow my intake out, unless you have kind of an el cheapo one, no offense. Counterfeiting aftermarket import performance parts is a serious problem, and a serious crime. You may have gotten a knock off. That's the reason why i won't buy anything from ebay, anymore. It was and it may still be a serious problem with selling counterfeit parts. I would hate to have purchased a part from there and put it on my car and it had failed, causing me to lose control of my car and cause an accident. I don't wanna take that change. I'll only purchase from known, honest business sites, like from the manufacturer or retailer of a name brand product. I don't trust people very much, and i have good reason to.

Trust me and my wallet it is 100% real. i ment it only makes it louder as of now b/c im running stock Psi so it is not really helping yet.

[Supra_87_mk3]

i was looking at some sites and i have heard of people running 20 psi on stock turbo and wastgate. i also know that people w/ t-birds use the same turbo's and run 25 psi. so would 15 psi really be harmful....(just a Q. im not sure)

Remember most turbos are high mileage. And pretty much anything after 13-14 psi it becomes a hair dryer spinning at 30k rpm. There really is no purpose for going over 13 psi on the stock turbo. You don't gain anything.
