So, you decided not to replace the SSQV? It's better to make these posts AFTER you have the numbers. I'm sure you weren't making another one of the million "how much whp will I make???" threads, right?

Good Luck with your numbers. This is a purist forum, if your on the stock turbo and not running the stock BOV, you are not welcome here! j/k. I'm not really in love with the HKS SSQV either to be honest, but as long as your happy and your not losing any power.

Well two things, one you can vent that to atmosphere or recirculate it... it works both ways. Two, I have the damned thing it works fine. Dont know why everyone hates... yes it sounds retarded but it does hold any amount of boost I push at it and doesnt leak. I would like a Tial but could think of better things to do with my time and money at the moment.

sell it, venting to atmosphere does nothing but causes problems and gives old women heart attacks. i have the forge and it is amazing.

Try recirculating it back in???? You do realize it can be recirculated right? I ran mine for a year with recirculating it with no problems. VTA causes problems... any BOV can VTA if you want it to and many can do both (LIKE the SSQV)
