I don't believe in skimping out on maintenance, but I'm all in for something that makes it easier. Off subject Staples, how often do you change your Green filter? I've been sticking to every other oil change.
Unless you're continually driving through a construction zone, every other oil change isn't needed. I haven't replaced or cleaned mine in two years, but it does get checked every time I'm under the car, it's fine.

I guess I have maybe 5 or 6,000 boosted miles on the car in two years. I did read online about every 6 month intervals in cleaning the BOV. That's not feasible when we have to remove the bumper. If I run into issues, I will be switching to the Tial option and ditching the Turbosmart.

I'm glad you were able to get your car situated though! Do you have a boost gauge by any chance or did you notice lack of power from the @$$ Dyno?
