Iv never been happier looking at a spring..





will update after the install

**************************

sry guys no vids, my phone and $130 camera take shitty videos, took a few pics tho










the bpv is deff a lil more Louder and Faster, not what i was quite expecting for noise but you can deff tell its got a lil more "pshh". no sputtering of any sort as for now..

install was easy, only thing that held me up a lil was putting the cap back on bc the spring is tighter.. other than that it is a quick and easy install!



UPDATE: back to stock bc i have just herd to much bad about this thing.. after all it was just 10 bucks haha

Take off your turbo and look at your turbine wheel. You'll think different

Why??
You're just placing more load on the turbo with more surge.

There's nothing quite like ruining a $25,000 car with a $10 spring.

I like that item. Makes the little black rubber peice look really cheap. Why are you using the green spring? Can you get away with running the yellow? If we are Trifecta tuned, which would be the prefered spring?

I've had a dejon spring in for 20K. Ive had no problems or issues. It's been nice. I want to get away from that rubber bpv, pushing 24psi for a long time has to damage that thing. Plus, rubber + heat = FAIL!!! Unless it's a tire!!!
