cool, glad you've weeded out the culprit.
Now I'm happy that I picked up that Forge valve off eBay.  Sounds like a lot
of people are having problems with the Bosch valve...

I'll be running the Forge valve and I know Javad is running one (or at least
was since last I knew).

I think I paid around $70 used for mine.


FWIW me and Nate are running ours in blowoff mode (w/ full 034 fuel system).
When un-filtered those things are LOUD.  While driving around in Nate's car
it sounded an awful lot like a Hoover on decel ;-)
