Mustang GT with an exhaust kit was permitted a stay today.
Need to replace my blown up TA61 so I'll be out of commission for awhile.
I am now part of the "Don't horse sneeze your turbo for fun, Stupid!" club.

You are 100% correct, the BOV's unfortunately got a bad rap due to half the naturally aspirated ricers running around with them but by design, they will definitely help your turbo bearings live alot longer. No flaming here my friend :wink:

Since I like to keep things as stock appearing as possible, rather than a BOV, I'll probably go for an S ported 6265.
The BOV in California is also a big ol' hanging visual violation on the smog nazi visual inspection checklist, so rather than that hassle, the S ported inlet on the compressor side fits my needs.

Yeah...around here if you get caught laughing at a Prius, they picket your home and Arnold Schwarzenneger and Maria Shriver call you out in the public square for a flogging.

I'm gonna try to just keep it at 18-19psi for street duty. I'm told it should produce the same power there as my current turbo did at 21-22 with the added benefit of waking up the top end some more:biggrin:.
Tires are 275/60/15 street radials until they dissintegrate
....then I might go back to DR's for awhile...if the budget allows....Holding boost down to that level will last until somebody outruns you.:biggrin:
Controlling boost with these turbos can be a real challenge. They spool quickly and push a lot of air. Great problem to have but it can be nerve racking to see the boost at 30 when you have fuel and tuning for 20.
Keep us posted on how it runs.

True....true...
I don't think it'll take long for me to start turning the WG rod in....:biggrin:
I looked the 6265 over tonight and the WG puck hole is significantly smaller than the one on my TA61, so I'll need to port that a bit per Patricks suggestion before installing this thing.
Other than that....it's so perty:biggrin:

Tonight a chump in his new 335i still sporting dealer tags and a Dodge Turbo Diesel were spared a 2 for 1 kill. They raced each other....the 335i just barely pulled the truck so the truck was not stock.
Later a 4th Gen SS Camaro was given a free pass.
