Saab (Bosch) BOV and DIY MBC

Getting more stuff cleaned out....

The BOV is off a Saab, but its the standard Bosch unit. PN 0 280 142 103.

The MBC is your run on the mill ball and spring DIY deal.

$10 shipped each. OBO as always....

More to come, just hitting the little stuff first....

Nope, steel ball. Nothing special.

Are the Bosch BOVs limited in holding capacity to a certain psi or are they good for all of our standard turbo Miata operating boost levels?

I don't really know. I ran one (not this one, I have two) at 15psi w/o noticing any issues.

Does that mean there weren't any? No, I can't say that with 100% certainty. But I can say that nothing stood out.
