well nobody "makes" a BOV for the Turbo Coupe but you can make one work. It's kinda hard to do with the stock IC though.

I have a Forge myself that I bought through http://www.40bob.com. However, I was told that the Forge would work with the VAM setup and wouldn't let vacuum, and mine still did, so...just be aware of that. It wasn't REALLY bad, but it was enough to cause the car to stumble and die if you were driving and pushed in the clutch.

see, i was told bov's were bad on mass air apps. and to use a bypass valve instead? something about venting metered air into the atmosphere?

Well, yes and no. Using a BOV can create a temporary rich condition between shifts, but that's usually not a big deal. I was told the way 2.3 Turbo's are, they tend to go rich between shifts anyway. I have blow-through on mine so the BOV is before the VAM, and it still tends to "pop" out the tailpipes when I shift.

Usually the biggest problem is that some BOV's tend to leak vacuum and make the car run like & it won't idle.
