R50/53 Bypass Valve location
Bypass Valve location
Okay, I know this is a stupid question, but does anyone have a picture of where the bpv is? My car started running sluggish today and my boost gauge is showing that I'm not getting any boost (well, very little).
I've got a detroit tuned bpv on the car (I bought it with it already on it) but I think it is sticking or something. I want to check it to see if I can get it to start working again.

A lack of boost can be due to several reasons: stuck BPV, loose vacuum/boost line, failing supercharger (worst-case scenario). As for BPV pictures/references, look here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...?highlight=bpv. Please keep in mind as you read this thread... you have the DT BPV, which corrects any issues the stock BPV had. There is also no reason to combine the VGS mod with the DT BPV; you only do one or the other.
