sorry...that didn't work.

Boost Bypass Mod

What's the boost bypass device:
The boost bypass valve is a valve that controls when air is allowed to be pressurized in the intake manifold by the supercharger. During normal operation, the bypass valve remains open to allow pressure to bleed through the open valve and back into the intake system before the supercharger rotors. This increases gas mileage at low to mid throttle application but hampers performance by not allowing boost pressure to develop until heavy throttle application.

How not having boost early is "hampering performance" I'm not sure. I can spin tires at 1900 RPM. With 3.8 Liters, do I need more torque down low? Maybe it would be good. BMW's new 3 series makes 300 lb-ft at 1400 RPM. We need some dyno charts both ways to know for sure.

All you do is loosten it up, and move the bypass valve diaphram upwards and then tighten it back down. It will prevent a little bit of boost from leaking at low rpm's in reality, it wont really do to much either way. Its not like a blow off valve.

I think this is the link that you wanted http://www3.sympatico.ca/aepa/bypassvalve.html.

To get the correct link, just right click on the link and click copy shortcut and it should copy the address.
