Bov

I read some threads on blow off valves and understand what they do. My 2007 S is an automatic and has a stock one already. My question is, by replacing the stock one with one of Ways with the stronger spring going to make much difference in an automatic. I do use the paddles and shifter on occasions. I think the Forge product is probably not needed.

Got an email out to him but I think he's out of town this week.
I'll wait to here from him.
Just thought someone out there has asked Way the same question.

JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM WAY AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING, HE SUGGESTED THE FORGE.

Just curious, why do you say that? If what I've heard and read is true, they are suppose to help the turbo by stopping the lag when decelerating and accelerating.
