Well their is not an offical recall yet. I just want to let everyone in on one of the problems that is know with the Blow off valve that is made by forge who supplies Abbott Racing. These BOV's are currently being used on the NG900, 9-3 and 9-5 from my understanding. The problem is with the earily bov that were made of a plastic material in the inside of the valve. This plastic part opened and closed the valve. This material was latter replaced with a metal one. The disadvantages with the plastic material is that the material expanded at times and created a open valve. If this has happened it would appear as a very long turbo lag. This problem has happened to me and I was able to return the product and recieve a replacement bov at no cost. The makers of the product understand this problem and will accept a return and exchange.
