He posted a week or 2 ago on this thread that he'll be out of town from wednesday to next wednesday.

As far as organization goes, all I need is someone to collect information/payment and provide it to me at the close of the Group Buy so that I can then distribute the product. Collecting information implies billing info., shipping info, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card numbers or Paypal info. People paying through Paypal can send the money to me directly or to the organizer.

I already have one offer to facilitate the Group Buy, so I will discuss with that person how this would need to happen and then have them start another thread.

At the moment, we plan to leave for a show next week Wednesday (July 13th)evening, so, this Group Buy would need to be completed by then or upon my return the following Wednesday (July 20th).

Hopefully we'll have more info tomorrow!

Everyone, I am terribly sorry for the delay in getting this started.

I have been out of town without internet access for a week, but I have been in touch with Ray (vtsnake) about this Group Buy, which he will be heading up, and it will start as soon as he is ready to do so.

I have provided him with all of the pricing information and other specifics.

Please do not bombard him with requests until the Group Buy thread is started. I have no doubt he will have his hands full.

I will try to provide as much support as possible during the process.

Wish I would have seen this sooner... Being a vendor, I might have been interested in heading up the buy. Mike, shoot me a PM if you will as I have issues to discuss with you about the valve I have.

I decided to run this BOV VTA for a bit longer just to see the effects of it. I am not a big fan of VTA BOV's, but I figured I would run it in this mode longer than 2 days in the test. So far about a week has gone buy and even in the 100+ temps out here in Utah with the A/C going, the car has yet to fall on its face. Here is a picture of the valve in VTA mode.

How much boost are you running and when on full boost to half throttle... any surging/stuttering/etc? VTA is cool, but have you tried full recirculating? I have the current Forge bov and the worst thing for me is that half throttle surging crap. I think I'll wait for more people to use this, even though it looks to be a great product. I'm very much enjoying the stock bov's driveability.

Read the very first post on this thread.

Right now it is holding 25 psi just fine

My friend in Idaho was running 28 psi with no problems on this valve also.

The spring in the RS Valve took us 15 weeks to develop.

It's a conical, progressive rate spring that is adjustable from 7 to 34 PSI.

They are all individually cold-wound. A process proven to prevent sagging or relaxing of the spring tension regardless of pre-load or length of use.
