Default Couple of Questions

Do i need to respring/tune my stratmosphere HX diverter/BOV like the forge?
If so what is best combo using forge spring kit?

Eventually
I want to run Modshack 3 induction system but have zero interest in aftermarket boost gauge. Dont want to lose a vent and the rest just dont look good to me.
So running this would it be best to ask for folks BM settings and take average setting n call it good?
ideas?? would prefer getting it dialed in right but not going to run a vent gauge etc.
Are there any benefits to BM for unchipped car?? thou i plan on getting APR 91 flash
thnx

Why not run a boost gauge under your hood?

Default Run a gauge line with a valve under the ashtray and plug in your gauge when needed>>

No replacement for an actual gauge when setting up or diagnosing problems

The BM just eliminates any creep on the stock setup. If you're getting chipped eventually then I'd just get it now.

I wouldn't think there was a good answer to the springs as the valve size and stroke could be different than the Forge one. Especially if its a BOV/DV combo and not a straight DV.
