Drivetrain Oxspeed BOV spring

Oxspeed BOV spring
After scouring these threads I opted for Oxspeeds' BOV spring. http://www.oxspeed.com/app/site/main/? I saw the JCW version and others and there didn't seem like alot of difference (except prices) Oxspeeds' is $10.+ shipping.
Came today, took about 20 minutes to install and there are some noticable differences in driveabilty of my CMS. First, throttle response at low end (A/C off) is better. There is a much quicker response between gears - zero lag. But the biggest improvement I've noticed so far is low end bog is gone when A/C on from a dead start. With the stock spring, A/C on from a dead start there seemed to be a dead spot/small hesitation, this car has barely 2k on it & I attributed that to A/C load on engine just off idle. Well the new Oxspeed spring cured that and will know more after the weekend.
Thanks Rick at Oxspeed

Mine didn't come w/instructions but there's instructions in multiple threads here or ask Rick (from Oxspeed to include them). It's pretty easy, just remove tube from turbo to air box and it's to lower right side of turbo - (3) T30 screws. Tip: do it when turbo is cool or those screws will be too hot to touch.

I ordered one as well. It has been about 10 days now. I emailed than after 5 days about my order status but never recieved a reply. So I called 3 days later and left a message. I was finally emailed a message saying that they were out of stock on them and that mine "should" go out that day.
