    Me too! Something about the E36 vert with hardtop. Got a sporty look too it.

    Not sure how its going to look with overfenders though. Should look pretty good I think. Gotta cover the fender damage (from previous PO) that's was bondo'd over. Discovered it when I was stripping the car the bare metal..

    Yeah it's been complete for over a month been waiting to officially drive it due to body work.

    Hopefully this weekend I'll drive her. Fingers crossed

    I don't recall, did you run the cut ring spacer, did you run E85

    I started at seven now I'm at 12 and debating on going to 16, LOL
    Now I know why they call it a waste gate, every time I waste gate opens I hear all the wasted boost, LOL

    Hey everyone,

    BOV isn't opening. Came with 2 springs one that was extremely light the other is very heavy.

    Light one stayed open at idle.

    I had a big boost leak from my boot where my meth injector got blown out from boost, with that leak I could hear the valve opening.

    Now with no leak it doesnt open?

    Here's the vavle:

    What do you think

    Rev it up to 4-5k in neutral and shut the throttle and see if it opens visually from under the hood
