Announced at SEMA! I had emailed the company prior to knowing this - they had the BOV listed as "under-development"....well - got way more than I bargained for!
I have been given an opportunity to test this new direct-fit BOV for the SRT-4 that was introduced at SEMA. It is a piston-type, so no diaphragms to rip, and has a set of springs to adjust the BOV for higher boost, higher performance applications (Stage 3+). I will be posting pics and sound clips to show the SRT-4 community what this BOV looks and sounds like. From a pure engineering perspective, I have always liked the stock location closest to the turbo - this ensures shortest path to venting boost, thus less chance for turbo damage, and also means that installation does not require additional hard-pipes or other paraphernalia to install or to achieve more performance, if desired. In addition, it is fully compatible with stock PCM-controlled boost so messing with the solenoid lines and plugging or removing lines is not necessary. I am very excited to be a "test-mule" for this product - it has the features I really wanted - stock fit and location, adjustability, reliable design. I'll post more once installed - any questions, lemme know!

Automotive "enthusiast" often seen driving a fart-can rice cooker with seat in the near fully reclined position. To select proper gear driver pulls self up right by yanking on the shift lever thus "shaking the stick". Real pimps ofcourse drive automatics so they never have to lift but are still stick shakers at heart.
