I am most interested in the manner they are hooked up to turn them from
blowoff

         [ o ]  To inlet of turbo
valves into diverter valves. Mine is in line (  ==II== --> turbo flow ->) and
the flow of the turbo is lifting the valve and causing flutter, I am afraid I
am not using it as a it should be. At any rate I have removed the spring and
now have a piece of 3/4 " hose instead and it is better but I fear not good
enough.
