Cloverdal thanks this is exactly the confirmation I was looking for and what I thought given they seemed to be function just fine under every other test with the car on including simulating WOT with the JB4 DWP settings being increased on idle


Bimmer Bro I can order from US but after FX conversion and shipping it ends up being $350+ and thats if we dont get slug with import tax

When you get new ones you should vac test them when they are off the car and just put your thumb on the other nipple to seal if off, based on what Cloverdale has said they should bleed off
