So i bought the blue ebay xs power bov for my wrx top mount project ... and i was happy with my cheep purchase up untill i got ahold of a manual boost controler .
i turned up the boost just a lil ... and the bov blows open when it sees about 10 psi or more .
we tested this by using a 2004 STI factory BPV ( vented to atmos ) and it held all the boost we could put to it . :twisted:

so if your considering the ebay bov dont count on putting more than 8-10 PSI behind it ... :(

Im currently waiting on a 2003 wrx factory BPV to put on my car and i hope to figure out how to run it recirculated. :-D

you couldnt tighten it or add shims to the internal spring?
