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?
I first had issues with the Turbosmart about a year ago. I noticed I could only hit about 2lbs of boost at 7000rpms. I took the bumper cleaned and oiled the bpv and boost was there again. Recently I noticed my boost gauge was reading 4 lbs at 6500 rpms when it usually would read 9-10 at this point. With the new Tial my boost is hitting 10-11 lbs again. My car's rear end is more squirrelly when stomping the gas, confirming my power is back. My car has now been supercharged for 3 years and 30k miles. I feel that I have just hit the refinement stage of getting everything where I want it to be.

That's good to hear, man. I had to pick up a new set of stickier tires to keep the power on the ground myself. I love how discreet this kit is, especially when sneaking up on someone and unleashing hell. Their facial expression is priceless.
