Default Hyperboost BPV FTMFW!!!!!

So, finally (man, I'm lazy!) got around to installing the used Hyperboost BPV I bought off a lister about two months ago tonight.

I also replaced that little vaccum hose coming from the center of the BPV with a new cloth covered one and used some nice crimp clamps from the dealer. Old one was cracked!

Man, what a difference!!! Lag between shifts is almost non-existant now. Feels much stronger.

Hyperboost BPV for the win!!!

Default Actually, its more like "cloth covered vacuum hose and new clamps" for the win.

You confused the result by changing two things at once. Bad science.

Default HEY! Bad science is my middle name!

Actually, not. But it's funny to say.

Other than the dealer, where does one get this cloth-covered vacuum hose (of the size to fit our cars)? The vac hose on my car is getting kinda old and crunchy. It might be nice to replace several lengths of it, and put real clamps on, instead of those damn crimp type.

Default I bought some crimp style clamps from the dealer...

Once you have the tool, it's nice!

It's only good on those things you don't plan on replacing often as you can't re-use them.
