Totally chavtastic, or acceptable modification?

Depends. Quite cool on the right car. Totally chav on an Uno Turbo. Will upset 1st & 2nd generation 3S-GTEs....

Apparently not disasterous so I've been told...

What do you think is the problem?

I'm, almost ashamed to add now that I bought Bailey Motorsport's BOV off ebay,but I haven't noticed any ill side effects. I dont really notice it anymore either.

Dont be ashamed mate, we are all friends here

I might try it for a while, if it feels to chav, or results in rough running, i can always swap it back.

would anything be ok on / suitable for a '91 mx5 turbo? will it help if the wastegate might not be holding all the way up to the correct pressure?

Thats the reason im changing mine, the current one is leaking boost pressure.

Are you sure its the wastegate thats leaking?

Unless my understanding or the term wastegate is incorrect (which it may well be!)

Basically, the actual valve part of the dump valve has got a bit sticky and gunked up, so its constantly "dumping" a little bit of air.
