Yeah, the Boomba seals up nicely - good, stout, billet aluminum :thumbup: The stock piece is stamped steel - easy to bend the corners. David, for the sake of doing it the easy way (but, more $), I would go with a BOV that mounts to the filter-to-turbo air tube. You just need a block off plate to go ...

I used 2000 grit sandpaper and water - lasted 3 years, and they're getting to the point of needing it again. The turn lenses are still good to go.
I may try the $20 kit that Justin mentioned - what is the brand name on that kit? I don't like going to Chinamart... :cussing:

I run the Boomba - it bolts in the stock location. I have a 12 pound spring in it so that it doesn't blow off externally below 12 pounds. If I drive nice and easy, I can hear it do the stock-style flutter back into the intake. But, if I wind up the boost above 12 pounds, it makes a nice healthy psh...

In defense of GbD, vendors switch materials quite often. Whether it's cost savings, better quality, better service, etc, it does happen. The fact that it happened between your original order and when an install error was made and replacements sent out is not the fault of GbD. $15 shipped for replace...

Both ACRs are de-badged, but I do plan on redoing ACR decals on both.

Son's R/T badges look fine ('03), but the "SRT4" badge chrome on my '05 is peeling off, and it only has 16k on it. Must be a heck of a draft behind the car... :shock:

The idea behind removing wheel weights was to not paint over them. Whenever I have tires mounted, I always tell the guy doing the work (not the salesman) to put the weights on the in-side of the wheel so they don't mess up the finish of the wheel, and make the wheel look tacky. So, if your weights a...

In addition to what Dante said, if the idle is till going up and down, swap in a (known) good TPS - when those go bad, it can cause the surging.
