I’ve had the Cusco (Part number: 660 551 A) carbon rear strut bar for a while now and the time to install it has finally come!
In addition, I bought a new Turbo Smart Gen V Race Port Blow off valve (Part number: TS-0204-1135) paired with their green spring – 15 InHg (part number: TS-0204-3105) to suit my current application.
My current Tial Q 50 mm blow off valve which came with an 11 psi spring now has an 8 psi spring. In this video I will explain the reason for switching from an 11 psi spring to an 8 psi spring and why I decided to go with the green Turbo Smart spring instead of the blue spring – 18 InHg (part number: TS-0204-3102) that is supplied with the blow off valve.
Are the Tial Q 50 mm blow off valve and the Turbo Smart Gen V Race Port blow off valve a direct replacement or will they require modifications to work?
All these questions will be answered in this video!
Enjoy!

I'm very curious on the 3 point Kein rear brace.
This one, I honestly didnt notice sny difference.
On a wagon this makes a difference, but the sedan has already all the speaker shelf wich i guess it kind of makes the same effect.
The BOV.. i know so many cars that have that blanked and never had an issue with the turbo.
Hey! Have you notice any difference in handling with the strut bar installed in the rear? Thanks for reply
Very sleek looking Valve. We call the all black "Murdered out" lol
