Anyone here using one on a SR? Any opinions? How does it hold up to high boost? What kinda boost can it handle? Thanks guys...

I am running it on my redtop. It is supposed to be good up to 12psi. I have no complaints as of yet.

Great BOV. Also, just for anyone's info, stay away from the 2G and Evo BOV's, they're junk.

I know a crushed 1G BOV will be ok to 20psi or higher.

Can someone explain this "crushed" thing? How do you do it and what exactly does it do?

You take the BOV apart and "Crush" the spring inside, effectively making it a higher spring rate, therefore stiffer. You sacrifice some drivability in doing this...but, c'mon, DSM guys are hella cheap, if they can take a stock BOV or whatever and make it work, they will.

only 12 psi? that sounds really low. but i'm looking at the edelbrock data, and the boost spike is 12 psi....but the crushed 1G runs about the same according to the graphs.
