this certainly isn't up for debate. i CAN'T argue about it. my car does run perfectly. never ever hiccups, produces a curve and numbers that are more than comparable to other similarly equipped MS3 at the same exact dyno location...and runs comparable 1/4 mile times and trap speeds when taking into account overall vehicle weight and 60 foot times. some might consider all of that arbitrary but when it comes to a real world decision of whether the car is running well or not, you, me or anyone else does not have anything better on which to base a decision. sorry it doesn't jive with your hypothesis and final decision. i don't know what you want me to say. it is readily apparent that there is enough of a window there within this car's ECU where whatever amount is released by the turboxs hybrid valve does not disturb the driveability or power in any detectable or usefully measureable manner.
if the valve i have, for any reason, caused some sort of loss of performance it would have been removed a long time ago. i know the valve won't leak and i know the valve makes a cool sound, all without leaching any power or driveability.
