Bill,

You must have posted about the same time that y'all sent out the emails. So how well would this work with an automatic GXP that already has the BSR PPC Tune and your Hahn IC. Any hints on how to set it for the auto-shifting?

It's less of a concern on the automatic trans cars, since you shift at WOT. But it would still give you the ability to adjust the amount of airflow bypassed, which could be good for increasing turbo response in situations such as autocross or other spirited pursuits where you are on-off-on throttle a lot.

Additionally, it would reduce sudden deceleration strain on the turbo (when you lift off the throttle at full power), for the stock valve is quite undersized.

Does this BOV also give the typical BOV sounds? Do you have a sound bite?

your new blow off with the silicon hoses and block off plate looks good my question is it going to throw a code like a after market bv does????

Is this compatible with the GMPP intake system? It looks like you need the factory airbox in for this to hook up properly. The pics on your website don't enlarge so it's hard to tell.

Here is a sound bite of it on my 2.4 with the Hahn kit. Shouldn't sound much different on the GXP.

Sounds good clear.....I'm thinking of this BOV to replace my GReddy upgraded one....just wondering if this will help my system's overall response.

No. I would presume that the problems you refer to are related to incorrectly executed blow-off valve installations that discharge their air under the hood, as opposed to recirculating the air back into the inlet as ours does.

As we've engineered these types of products for literally decades, we understand that in a MAF-equipped car, any air that's passed through the MAF must be consumed by the engine, or else MAF readings are not accurate. We'd never make that n00b mistake!

From what we've seen, as long as your air intake uses a 3" tube, it can be trimmed to work with our BOV system approach. We chose the stock airbox as our standard, but the system can accomodate most aftermarket intakes too.

Try this...refresh your page views...we've removed the photo with the blue, black is the standard color. The Billet Blow-off Valve is black and red, so we are a perfect match for you!

Can you make the hoses in blue and a blue anodized BOV and blank off plate?

isn't that what the solenoid is supposed to compensate for?

I'm afraid not, sorry...the molded hoses are very specialized, and have to be run in production lots, and the same is true of the color anodizing on the other parts. Can't just poweder-coat or paint these at will!
