Question. Stock bypass valve.

[IndianaMazda]

So ye, was messing around in the engine and the bypass valve stem broke off in the vacuum tube. Is the car safe to drive til I get a new bypass valve?

If you're going to drive the car, be easy on it. First off, you'll have a vacuum leak. Secondly, under boost conditions, you'll be inducing compressor surge which, if uncorrected after a while, can damage the turbocharger.

Got them to warranty it out instead of paying 200 some odd dollars for a new one.

Good to hear. I also have my stock one laying around somewhere in a box. One way or another, you would have been good to go. Haha.
