Upgraded turbo question # 2

Post by Subtle »

With the improvements listed in the earlier post, will the stock by pass valve be able to handle the higher out put :?:

Re circulating---- by-pass-- two words to describe the stock valve used to relieve the pressure surge when the throttle is suddenly closed. This I have.

Question remains --how much can the factory item handle before an upgrade is required?

Dan said it correctly, upgrade from stock to a non-stock blow-off-valve that is set up to recirculate.

In the future, you can post these questions in the same thread. No need for two threads. Thanks!
