Great mod!

Is it better to crush stock bov or get an aftermarket bov? Does that mean the aftermarket ones give 20hp as well?

Does this work on Evo 8's?

Don't try to do it on the plastic valve, it's not going to happen This reminds of the 1G days, man... I love DSM's!

If running Ap stage 2, do you have to reflash after doing this? Or just crush and go?

Why not sell this as a service? You know the whole core charge, test and return process? All the aftermarket BOV threads are plagued with complaints.

Given what the bad that can happen some folks like myself would like the peace of mind of a proper, DRAMA FREE crushed 30PSI holding BOV.

1st, it only will hold more psi if it is leaking which is a pretty good chance on most bov's. Also you need to tune for this mod remember, please don't do it without a tune.

2nd, I don't think Erkle wanted to make money off of this, he gave you a free idea that some people don't know you can do, wouldn't be something to sell.

That's because the people that listen to that music do not know how to use the "computer machine" and get "download for free".
