new guy here! just was searching a part for my 2 80 turbo t/a's i just bought recently and found a few threads that was about the elusive part we both seek... the infamous pevr! anyway just wanted to stop in and intro myself.i am new to turbo cars so technically im probably a little dangerous to myself but not others as i learn early to keep mouth closed and eyes and ears open! but i am learning pretty fast as i have subscribed over to 301 forum.so between here and there i will be up to speed in no time.

Welcome aboard. I'd suggest that you go and read some info from BEFORE BLACK Website. It's more about the V6 cars but it does have some info on the 301 turbo cars. We'll be more than happy to help you if we can so keep reading and ask questions.

Ive sorta decided on what Im going to do for mine. Ive ran the car for 3 summers now and I don't have one and have not noticed anything. Car runs fine.
What ive boiled it down to is you need
A switch that passes current at 3 inches or so
A 97-02 Supercharged 3800 wategate switch.
Hoses
Ive got the parts but dont know if I want to canibilize my 3800 parts pile for my cutlass. The wategate switch is like $30 or something. Im sure theres a way to do the PECV mechanically but I havnt thought of a way that can be built.

Yeah, its funny, it runs great. I have a thought that it is hurting my turbo spool but it doesnt smell gassy at idle, make your eyes water and the oil doesnt have that gas smell in it.
I get 20 MPG running full rich too, might get like 23 when I get that fixed!

Nah, nah nah, nah nah! Got 2 turbo control centers. knock sensor, distributor and finally, a PECV valve!:biggrin:
nice! i was told running rich on the 301t it will wash the cylinders and lower bearings over time.
It will. That's why the PECV valve is so important.:smile:
would this switch work?... on my 80 turbo i have boost lights 1 that light up at 3psi of boost and the 2nd one at 6lbs of boost, if i wire this in to the 6 lbs light harness http://cgi.ebay.com/Grand-Am-Skylar...cessories&fits=Make:Buick&hash=item19c0947e75
Just a lowly mechanic that has a few ideas.:smile: I've got an extra stock V6 exducer that would make your stock 301 spool faster if you're interested.:biggrin:
Well it kinda goes with the car so here's the link to the car.:biggrin: Not done yet since I'm now an independant shop owner. I need a little more money in the bank before I can take a little time off to work on it.:frown:
