At the hand car wash you have to explain that they shouldn't hose down and spray into the rear engine vents..

But they do anyway.

You check the water temp each time you use boost?

Turn the heaters on when stuck in traffic on a warm day?

Re: Aftermarket BOV does it need one way valve?

Cool thanks guys I have a spare apex I bov and when I blow into what I'd call the flange where it joins the hot pipe it just blows out through the holes in the side.

When I blow into the stock one I can't blow through it at all. Doesn't seem right to me.
