CaBS is an unknown quantity at this point
The next thing I did afew weeks later was installed a plumb back BOV.
The previous owner had "borrowed a mates" and had to give it back so the car came without one. You can see in the second post I put up the outlet on the hot pipe for it which is duct taped up.

The car got terrible compressor surge. You could feel it let alone hear it. The car was only running 14psi and under hard acceleration you could feel it between gear changes. Boost would drop right down and when you planted your foot in the next gear would take a second or two before it was on full song again.

The GFB plumb back fixed this up and the car performed much better and also sounded a lot better in my opinion. =)






Here you can see the new hot pipe I had made to suit the BOV.
Plumbs back nicely into the intake just infront of the compressor housing and has worked a treat to this day. Unfortunately the bonnet skin rubbed some of my black spray job off it =(
