I have the boomba BOV spacer and it has helped me learn turbo idiosyncrasies better. The problem I am trying to remedy is that the stock bypass valve releases my turbo pressure at the slightest lift of throttle. When I feather the throttle while going around long turns (think flyover) where I am trying to hold a high speed and ride the limit every slight lift of the throttle clears my turbo pressure.
I have read that the Turbosmart BOV does not do this as it is mechanical and not electronic (correct me if i'm wrong) which got me thinking. If our stock BPV is electronically controlled, can a custom tune adjust the pressure release point? not releasing turbo pressure until I hit maybe 0-10% throttle? This is not a huge issue as I don't track my car (yet) but I think it will definitely help drivability in hard-driving situations. Having to build pressure back up is annoying, it's exacerbates the turbo lag issue the FiST has. (I know, other cars are worse, but we definitely have turbo-lag)
Thoughts?
