Overboost protection...
I know this has been discused and wanted to know if this Pop Off Valve would work?? , and would i need to do for it to work, like how to get a second presure source that does not see boost, and would it need a different flange than the one on the stock blow off valve from an SF kit..........

Rep Power: 326 I think that Greddy makes a tru pop-off valve, that doesn't rely on vacuum. It's a preset setup where once it hits a certain psi... it opens and vents. DO NOT use this as a boost controller though, it's only meant for spikes.

Do you know where i could get a pressure source that doesnt see vaccum, and i have a boost controller, i just want the added protection in case of a spike.........
