now you are way

no, i do not want to talk spring rates and how a diverter valve works... i recall your first post talking about the usage of meth and a "faulty diaphram":

"I liked the valve a lot as there is very little flutter and it holds well even at 28 PSI. Do not run this valve if you are using methanol!!!! Greddy gives you no warrantee when the diaphragm turns to dust and it will in short order. There tech support guys claim they never heard of the problem and have no plans to do anything about it. A new diaphragm is over $80 plus shipping for a part that will just fail again in a few thousand miles."


you liked the bov even though complain about "little flutter" and you just answered your own thread with the attached link (plus silver surfer's research never went above 20psi). so why did you buy the greddy rs knowing what you read in silver surfer's thread?

then you scream out "do not run this valve if you are using methanol!!!! Greddy gives you no warranty when the diaphram turns to dust..." this tells me two things... 1-that you admitted to greddy using meth and greddy assumed you injected the meth before the bov and intake manifold. now what makes you think that ANY bov manufacturer will warranty thier product if you told them you was running meth? my point is, would you expect the same reply if you was running nitrous? 2-you say that you injected the meth after the bov... how would the meth take affect on the diaphram and bov then? air pressure flowing thru the upper intercooler piping goes only in one direction my friend...

now if you just went ahead and told greddy that you didnt like thier product, im sure they would have told you to return it with a valid purchase reciept and refunded your $ with no questions asked. im positive thier r&d team would have taken apart your bov to find a faulty cause and make the adjustments necessary.

I am man enuff to admit when i made a mistake and im man enuff to admit im not a qualified mechanic... are you a qualified mechanic to find out the EXACT CAUSE of the bov problem? prove me wrong... send the bov back to greddy... see what they have to say... wait a second... you just proved you voided thier warranty by opening up the bov on your own...

POINT IS... YOU PAY TO PLAY... HIGH PERFORMANCE PARTS DONT LAST FOREVER... EVEN IF THE PARTS ARE NEW...

The meth has nothing to do with the diaphram going bad. I have seen a number of the RS diaphrams go bad and none of them ever saw methanol.

I have seen 3 Greddy Type R BOV fail. We have every single one of them at my friends house. We tried the condom fix but it was only temperary. Greddy diaphrams fail alot and I have not seen any case where they were warrantied.

dvsevo8,

"2-you say that you injected the meth after the bov... how would the meth take affect on the diaphram and bov then? air pressure flowing thru the upper intercooler piping goes only in one direction my friend... "

I can tell by this statement that you have no clue what all those little hosey and tubey thingys under your hood are or what they do.

you making this way too easy for me

i wont get technical on you cuz obviously you cant remember anything you wrote or cant take the time out to read any of your previous posts... so to recap how air flows thru the turbo/turbine... to the IC... thru the UICP... past the bov... past your meth injection nozzle... to the intake manifold...

do you agree? (yes or no answer here)

now here is where it might get difficult for you to understand... your air flows in one direction as stated above... how does the meth injection affect the bov/diaphram if it was mounted after your bov?

That diaphragm sucks I was only running 22lbs and the bov was only 1 month old and mine ripped. I to called greddy they wouldn't help me neither so I say f*ck greddy. I sold what parts of theres were on my car and refuse to purchase greddy products again.

Question: do i work for greddy?

Answer: no i do not

Question: could i have helped you out?

Answer: maybe... if i felt like it

Question: would greddy or in this case ANY MANUFACTURER have warrantied the bov for you?

Answer: yes, i believe any manufacturer would, upon the following compliances:

-valid parts dealer name you bought the product from
-valid reciept for proof of purchase
-send the product back in the original box to have the manufacturers r&d dept test the product (in case you dont understand... r&d means research and development)

now obviously you have a problem with the above answer becuz you were too smart to tell them you opened up the bov to inspect it yourself *hint* (this causes the warranty to be void)

if you understand the above statement, then you would understand no manufacturer would take back any product knowing the end user exploited the product to see for himself what could cause a problem. *hint* next time just call the manufacturer back, tell them you believe the product you recieved is not functioning properly, you would like to send it back to them so they can verify with thier own expert technicians... not the mechanical engineer you portray to be

since your sig reflects you are a military man... i have friends and family currently serving in the military too... i will answer your post with respect and not disrespect you with profanity as you have just done...

sorry you feel that way about the product, had i known you, i would have helped you get your $ worth for the bov, if you decided to keep it. good luck with your car

sent you a pm

Hey CFD I've got a RS out in the burbs that I need to get rid of, only a few thousand miles on it. I'm sure we can come to a reasonable price if you're interested. I trimmed one of the internal springs though, so you'd need the ones from the one you have. PM me if you'd like.


Also, I've dealt with greedy before when I had a gauge failure on a brand new gauge. They were anything but helpful. If I buy anything of theirs at this point I just consider it "as is" because I know if I have any problems I'm on my own.

Now I'll try to make this real easy for you. Take a look at your diverter valve, maybe yours is different than mine but I don't think so. How many hoses do you see attached to it? Where do they go? Are they all upstream from where you would inject methanol?

Please read the posts made by the other members. My valve is not the only one that has turned to crap and none of the others have seen any type of meth injection.

dvsevo8,

Did you figure it out yet? I know all those little hoses and stuff can be confusing. Well???
