Thanks Grunff - I appreciate the thought anyway. I'm looking for the Trionic 3 line one that sits up on the rad and given what I found out about mine by taking it apart - I'm hoping to find a new one to modify before placement. Basically it looks like $200(usd) best price state side. Which is like about $300.00 once shipping and border duties are taken into account. Works out to about the same at the dealer after local VAT. Did you catch my post mortem post on the BPC APC valve on the weekend? Basically - I was surprised at how clever the actual device was, but really disappointed at how it was manufactured. I would dearly love to figure out who actually makes the parts for them over in Europe. It's not a complicated design at all. Just not very well executed (I smell a another cost accountant at the engineer's meeting somewhere).. :) .. I have hooked up a relief type regulator as a sort of MBC to set the wastegate pressure to 12pds and no longer have base boost. But, it's a dodgy thing my English brother - not nearly as tight as I would like it. Anyway - was hoping that somewhere they might have been sold for somewhat less than over here. I fear having visited Elkparts that it may be pro-rated pricing worldwide.
