Gtm supercharger stg 2 bpv stuck closed?

I didn't specify which brand I wanted. In order to use the Tial BPV, I will have to weld on another flange. My shop here in Texas assured me the Tial unit with a supercharger specific spring (softer) will work much better and require a lot less maintenance. I called TurboSmart today and asked them if they had another BPV/BOV to help minimize the every 6 month cleaning, and they were not very helpful and basically said it is what it is. Long story short, I will never buy another Turbo Smart product. It makes me feel good that I sold the TurboSmart EBC that I had when I was going turbo. I'll update everyone and try and get some pictures when the new unit is installed.

I just had my Tial bypass valve installed today, and miraculously my boost has returned! The Tial unit also sounds much better than the Turbosmart. My shop recommended this unit, as they use it on some of their 1000hp+ cars. The picture I included is the Turbo Smart unit. Do you notice the scouring that's going on in there? It will now be my favorite paper weight

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of my new Tial unit before the bumper went on, but it looks just like the one pictured here. I wasn't sure how well it was going to work, but so far it seems that it was money well spent. The installer said he now remembers how much of a pain in the *** my bumper was to take off with both engine and Trans cooler stuffed under it! My welds are much cleaner than in this picture btw.
