Hi I'm new at this, but I was wondering if anyone could help be in buying the right blow out valve for my MCS? I just installed Injen cold air intake, and want to install a BLOW OUT VALVE. Any ideas?

It's more commonly known as a blow off valve, or BOV. In stock form, your boost is recirculated by a computer controlled solenoid. If you want a quick and easy way to convert this to vent into the atmosphere, Forge makes a bolt on sandwich adapter. The computer still controls the solenoid, but the excess boost pressure is released through vents in the sandwich adapter rather than being recirculated.

There are other, more expensive options, but that should get you started.

Nope, I've had one on my car since July. Works great.
