Dean,
Thanks for the very detailed and comprehensive response. I had not considered adding a wine cork before but your argument is quite compelling. I have, however, lubricated the piston for the exact reason you specify; it being exposed to dirt and contamination.
I suppose I need to take the time to perform some more rigorous testing on the washer configuration but as I stated in my previous post, I really hadn't noticed any difference in idle characteristics or performance under high boost based on how many washers I had installed.
In response to your questions, I have the 25mm adaptor kit but it is not welded to the unit. However, this is definitely another consideration as the BOV has indeed separated from the adaptor on one occasion. Granted, it was very evident when this occurred (couldn't obtain even moderate turbo boost) and readily reconciled given the placement of the unit.
I have done several engine mods, namely:
- Speedparts ECU
- J/R air filter
- air box mod
- throttle body transition casting mod
- and, obviously, the Turboxs Type H BOV
That's all the engine mods that I have planned given that this is not my project car; my '89 SPG serves that role quite well.
Thanks again,
Mike
