The pics and the parts look absolutely awsome however it is absolutely un comprehendable that you are using a TurboXs RFL-H BOV in your car.

That BOV is loud but it is in my opinion one of the worst BOV in the market. Wether you use it on stock turbo or upgrade turbo that BOV leaks very soon, it makes your car stall at mid range RPM and sometimes it gets stuck open unabling you to even start the car. I highly recommend you upgrade your recirculating BOV to a more decent BOV, you will gain performance.

Thanks for all the compliments!!

My wife loves it. She thinks everyone is starring at us now when we are in it. Its load and lopey.

I was running a gt3076 before with a utec and alky injection. The alky pump quit working and leaned out really bad and blew the top ringland off. 456awhp.

The turbo I have now is a gt35r with .82 a/r.

The only reason I have that bov is cause I need some money. Im waiting on my tax refund to finish out my fuel system and get a tial bov. Then just get a tune by mark fomr tt and be on my way.

My car is gonna be such a sleeper.

Build looks Badass!! Just wondering why went with the single valve spring instead of dual springs? I always run the dual valve springs so in the event one breaks you have another there to keep the valve from dropping.

Nice build up. How long did it take to get her up and running again from the day it broke?

Im not going to be reving the crap out of it so I figured the single spring would do.

It took me 3 months nearly to the day to get it all done.
