Kane - i'm trying to understand how this works .
I think i get why it gets better gas mileage . Because at cruise it leaks pressure back into the intake tract . By doing this the turbo is not working as hard and therefore the motor is not under quite as much load - therefore better mileage (so long as you recirc.)
As for why this helps in spoolup or power in any way - can't figure that out ......

Other than the turbo spooling better because of less surge between shifts, and the leaks...I don't get how it will work better than say no BOV ..or a "properly functioning" conventional style
Ok - if the motor has to work less hard to make the same power - then how hard does it have to work to spool the turbo.....less - therefore it will provide more power sooner to overcome the rotating resistance of the turbo.
If you are still confused then all I can say is use it - and you will see.

Alright so car starts by its self now and runs. I fixed the power steering prob, just messed with main harness on rack. I do have a minor oil leak i have to fix, and car wont rev past 4k. So gonna check my OMP tomorrow.
Also it smokes a lot. kind of mellows out but then comes back. Not sure what it is, the smoke its self is white.

also where is the smoke coming from? engine bay? does it have a distinct smell?
mine did that too after I installed my upgrade and put new thermotape under the car near the turbo...it stopped eventually....just stuff burning off.
didn't remixlp's car only rev to 4k at first?
