By-Pass Valve finally installed

[Erik Addy]

Boost helps keep them closed, but if they have a mechanical failure
(tear, etc), they leek.

Ned Ritche once told me he considered the bypass valve to be a tune-up
item, should be replaced once a year along with plugs/rotor/cap.

If so, I may have a very inexpensive option.  Catch is that the bypass
leaks at 13psi, so you can't boost any higher than that efficiently. >>


   Don't know where you got this info, but it is not true, bypass valves
*cannot* leak by design from too much boost.  The boost actually holds
the valve shut untill vacuum opens the valve when the throttle is
closed...
