My car has been hesitating between 1500-4000 RPM's lately. I couldn't figure out why and I still don't know why for sure. Anyways, I took off my BOV because a friend thought it might be causing some of the trouble I've been having. Turns out that the thread on the top (The purple part) is totally stripped inside. Having this problem made me wonder if that's what's been causing he hesitation since there is air coming out of the BOV at idle when there shouldn't be.I bought this BOV used, but it was working FINE for the longest. Is there a way GReddy can send me a new top perhaps? Will they charge? If so, how much do you think?

If they won't send me another one for free/or a cheap price, I think I'm gonna go ahead and get some other BOV. I'm not sure what but I'm thinking Turbo-XS H-RFL for my SR20DET. I'll only be boosting 7lbs so I'm not sure how it will sound compared to the Type-S.

Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions about my BOV problem? It's currenly off the car right now because the screw to loosen/tighten popped out since the threads are stripped...GRrrR..rR...

-ThankS

BTW, does any company make a BOV tha will fit the GReddy flange?_______

Honostly if you want the best daily driver performance and your sticking to stock boost at the moment then try to pick up a stock recirculation valve. Unless of course you want the sound and stalling associated with atmospheric BOV's. Though if you have a FMIC then im not sure where you'd strap it on exactly.

If it's just the tension screw on top or the housing it threads into being stripped just get a new bolt(any will do) or tap the housing for a slightly larger bolt. Home Depot, $7.95?
