I find it funny that the good ol Bosch plastic BOVs are used on this car.

They have been used for the past 22 years....the first car I ever saw with one was a Porsche 951 (944 turbo for the uninformed). Mitsubishi used them in the 95-99 Eclipses.

All of them blow open, crack, split, or just blow apart eventually with enough heat and use. Me? 1st generation DSM BOV. Cheap, sounds nice, and holds all the boost you can throw at it. Paint it silver and no ones the wiser .

I had no idea that the motor was using a MAP setup...I havent spent much time under the hood of one yet..
