"crushed" blow off valve?
Does anyone know if "crushing" a BOV is worth while? Wouldnt you be better off just buying an aftermarket one capable of a higher PSI? My friend has a 1g DSM, and he had his crushed to support the higher PSI of his new turbo. Has anybody seen this done?

also it is a lot cheaper to just crush the stock one. then the other money can be spent on other upgrades such as a tuning session or something.
