I think I just got unlucky. That said, it's not that uncommon that they leak boost but it normally isn't as noticeable leading to surge issues like I was experiencing coming on boost. I'm also particularly fussy. To have it ok only under wot conditions was never going to fly. I wanted and eventually got the car running as smooth as stock across all throttle inputs and load conditions. Bottom line, the bov was the culprit. For $160 for piece of mind I reckon it's a pretty cheap upgrade tbh. Sounds good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made me even more anal about how to finish things off haha. Things like having clamps the same distance off silicon joiners top and bottom and orientated the same way. It's amazing how little things like that over a whole car make a massive difference to the overall finish. My next little fix up will be the dump. It's about 7-10mm out of plumb with the rail on the horizontal pointing down. Mates fine with the flange, but doesn't look 100% and also hangs that part lower than it could be. I occasionally tag speed bumps with the flange as a result. I'm going to get my good mate Luke at Motor Fab to section and square up. At the same time, we'll piss the 2 bolt off and go vband. He's a perfectionist so the zort will be spot on then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
