    Funny...Yesterday, the plunger would open when the engine was off but was locked (and I mean LOCKED!) in the closed position when the engine was started and when revved. No movement of the plunger when revved. Today, plunger operates as it should, moves when revved. I've ordered a new OEM BPV. If there were a vacuum leak, it would've thrown a code, right? Anything else you can suggest?
    Thanks,

    MrBlah-
    Got a situation and I'm hoping you may be of help. Recently installed a PRW standard damper and 15% pulley. Just completed installation of boost and oil temp gauges in the GP and found less than satisfactory boost values...changed out the serp belt tensioner and installed a new gates 060535. After warming up, at WOT in 3rd & 4th, only saw around 5 psi. At idle, steady at 18 psi. vac. Car runs well, no hesitation through the rev band, no codes thrown, no limp mode. With engine off, the BPV arm actuates normally. With engine running, the BPV arm will not move, even while revving. Acts as though it's stuck shut. Checked for leaks by judicious sprays of starting ether. No reaction.
    I hate just "throwing parts at a problem" without assurance that it will fix it. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I did the math. Swift's 6" 504 lb spring will compress 42.8 mm on the front with 850 lb on it, that compares to my 63 mm compression on 342 lb springs. So, in the end including the taller stack ht KW tender spring you are getting, you would be sitting 1 mm higher than I am now, with your perch's in the same location as mine!!! Clearly I have about 1" more thread area I could go up. You are currently 1/4" higher than me and KW's recommended Max ride Ht is .6 in higher than I am now. So In theory you should not raise your car more than another .35". So, putting your new springs on the perch's where they currently sit will basically accomplish raising the car to the max recommended Ht. No need to do the math on the rear as the rear is more flexible, get the 6" for that too.
