I bought mine used too.

All the potential savings went out the window when I dropped off the car to have the clutch done this morning.

Oh well...

Current RTC just got his car back from having the clutch done. His parts fund needs an IV infusion.

That's how it was used, I may have access to one from a friend and can pass it onto someone who can use it. Didn't know what it was worth.

Why not use the efr bov.
8psi overboost is pretty low. You might creep to that.

I am using efr Bov. I still have that Forge one that nobody wants.

Wasn't savington able to hold 5psi? Or was that with stock exhaust..so 3" might get me up to 7-8psi. Hm. Ok.
