Any stock BOV's good to 30+ psi?
You don't.
Here's someone with the right idea. You don't need to destroy the functionality of your BOV by crushing it, and you don't need to spend money on a "leak-stop kit". Just buy a set screw and plug the hole for the fast release port on the bottom of the valve, and drill a hole in the side of the passage and you've got a stock BOV that'll hold any amount of boost you can throw at it. I've even done this to a stock plastic VIII valve and it holds better than an unmodded IX valve.

I like this idea but not sure how to go about it. Got any pics?
