hey all,
I bought a car tuned at 345 hp 33x tq running 22 lbs of boost from a forum member here and it still has the stock bov. I've heard that stock bov will leak or not hold up when the car is modded. So I was wondering if I would need to replace it to an aftermarket one, or do i not need to worry about it with the current power?
Any help is appreciated!!

 

Your stock diverter valve is fine. You have a IX, its not an issue at that boost level.

 

thanks grillpt!

 

yea they acctully hold up pretty goodd. its either there bad once ur at like 300 horse or they hold up for more. a buddy had mild mods was around 300 and his went bad. then i knew people like in ur case with 330-350 and it worked fine with higher boost.

 

you can also crush your stock dv to hold moar boost, if/when you decide to do more mods.

 

+1. mine was starting to open at 24 psi, i crushed the cap and tested to 30 psi with 0 leak.
