BOV, do I need an aftermarket one or Bosch will do?
I am going to run 3.125 (already installed) but wanted to know if the stock Bosch BOV is capable of handling the extra psi? I dont want it leaking extra psi while it is trying to send it to the throttle body.
Right now Im not interested in doing the CAI since I dont want to lose my washer tank. Need to figure out how customize the tank to stay in there with the CAI. And also not interested since it "seems" you have to get a part welded to the charged piping. I swear I remember a way around it with a special univeral flange but now I cant remember.

Might as well get the BOV, but it can be a hassle. I guess you've been without a car for a few days while you installed the SC. Be prepared to possibly be without the car a few more days if the BOV messes up like it has on a few of our cars.
Also, check my thread on the CAI before you attempt it.

Well heres still my question, do you think the Bosch could handle the 3.125? Only reason I ask if temporary I want to run it till I get a a Blitz or something else.
Oh yeah Tanmann, I backed off my s/c install because we got about 1foot of snow the day before I was going to reinstall it. And then I realized how bad my traction issues are in the snow. I dont think an extra 100+whp is going to help in that issue. Remember Im running on 19s. "Not winter tires" by ANY means. Might be holding off on the install now till January or until I know for a FACT there is no more snow coming.

That sux that you have to wait. You really don't want to push the SC for the first few hundred miles that it's installed. Break-in period and all that. I mean, you don't want to hit full boost every chance right away, so it shouldn't be too bad installing it and driving it in snow. Besides, it's more like +65whp

Hey, I have one for sale that I used for about 3 days, still pretty new. If you haven't read some of my posts I went ahead and got the Gredy Type-S. If you want mine, we can meet up for $180. Let me know, because if I odn't find a local buyer withint this week, I'm going to go ahe and auction it off on Ebay. With any pulley, I recommend having the BOV for the blower's sake.

You shouldn't have to get it welded, though it does come with the flange, if for some reason it doesn't bolt right onto the pipe. I just don't have the gasket.

All the pictures of the Blitz Ive seen show it as a flat piece on the bottom. How can you hook that upto the 1" pipe coming off the charged pipe?

Hmm, since you have a 5th gen SC, its probably different than mine (4th gen). I have a flat piece (flange) on the very end of the 1" pipe coming off the charge pipe which would bolt to the flange of the Blitz BOV. If there isn't a flat piece at the end of yours, your going to have to get the Blitz BOV steel flange welded on in order to bolt it to the flange of the BOV.

I've been thinking of taking my V1 apart for inspection, but I don't want to risk ruining a seal or bearing and having to send it to Vortech.
