[s-cars] Re: Q about BPV

Honking?  http://tinyurl.com/32h9c 

By Pass Valve?  http://tinyurl.com/3enob seems like Porsche parts ='s brass,
at least in the opinion of the Swedish brick crowd down under.  Further,
FWIW there is, somewhere out there on the web a huge "comparative BPV" write
up done, IIRC by one of the B5 nuwS4 twin turbo wonks with lots of color
pictures, little arrows & illustrations for which I have misplaced the url,
but if Clancy is really curious about it I'm pretty sure a google or list
archive search will turn the link up.

HTH Clancy with his girl friend's hill climb problems, if not with list
member mothers / fathers &/or other family members fixations.
