hmm a bov with nipples to play with.......where do i sign up? I suggest working with 1 nipple until sore/tender then switching to another until you find the one that will hold up and work for you.

Yeah I can see your point... That and two nipples on the highway might get a bit distracting!

Ian, can you elaborate on what kind of issues you had with the IX valve when driving on the highway?

EDIT> Anyone have an un-crushed IX metal valve for sale?

Mild On/off throttle transitions cause a bit of compressor surge and bucking. Like if im pulling a hill at a few pounds of boost and let out of it not slowly but not quickly, it won't open the bypass. I could just get used to it, but I really dont want to. It always did this a little bit, but never this bad.

Ran the AutoX at Beaver Run today. Was my first time AutoXing and it went pretty well. Got to kill a few cones, but they deserved it. I think I'm hooked. I can see going through tires pretty quickly. haha The suspension felt really really good. Just got to get some more time with it and should be better. Hopefully run out these DZ101s and switch out to a the StarSpec or Kumo XS tires.

Little bit of sensory overload at first with all the cones. Finished the day with a 33.78 secs which was the fastest time for awhile and pretty sure the first into the 33 sec range.

Some of the times I ran:
35.63
34.xx (wasn't sure what he said)
35.75
35.85
35.57
34.72
34.10
34.71
33.78

Got to shoot the **** with Curt B. He brought out the Lotus to run the course. He ran a 33.85 I believe.
