[s-cars] Missin' solved, but why do I have better gas mileage & more throttle response?

[Nathan Belo]

I replaced the other POS, all turbo hoses with the Samco GP & ECS Clamps GP
(The damn clamp going to the turbo x-over was too small!) that have been
collecting dust & replaced the BPV with a 710N. I also replaced the rotors
with x-drilled Zimmerman's & Mintec Red Box Pads (No flame on please for my
choice of pads, I hate brake dust).

Missing problem is solved.  I now have more HP & gas mileage than before it
was missing & it's more responsive. Is this due to the POS, the 710N, the
new ECS Clamps or the Red Samco hoses (Just Kidding on the hoses)?
Everything I've read lately said the 710N BPV doesn't do s...!  What ever it
is, I'm happy & so is the car.  Must be the red? That's my "bling bling" for
under the hood.
