Just wondering, if anyone happens to know... i'm sure i'll get several different answers... I will just ask.. if i'm running 28 PSI should I even bother?

It has been found that there is no set number that the stock BOV will leak at. Someone tested multiple copies of the stock BOV and found that some stock BOVs leaked at 19psi and some held closed all they way to 30psi. The only way to know for sure is to test the bov yourself.

I'm to close to 30 psi as it is and knowing my luck the f*cker would leak at 15 psi. I think i'm going to go with the synapse.

Cooling problems then bad seal, holding off mods.
