[s-cars] Bypass Valves

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Paul, et all of y'all-
I put in the TurboXS type 25 bpv and couldn't be
happier.  It's adjustable.  It has an aluminum piston.
 Adjustable spring rate.  It was a real PITA getting
it in there, but after about 2 hours, I figured it
out.  I don't know if I have it tuned properly, but it
works.  If I didn't have this one, I would have gotten
the Strat hyperboost.  I have a Bailey, but it stuck
on me, so I sent it out to be rebuilt.  Ain't lifetime
warranties grand?

Anyway, my diagnosis?
Stock valve:   toast.
710N valve:    toast.
Bailey valve:  toast.
Forge valve:   toast.
TurboXS valve? So far so good.
