Does anyone know of any replacements for the OEM bypass valve? Just looking to do some preventative maintenance. I've had a BPV on a car in the past and know they are prone to tearing.

RV6 makes one, but does not recommend it for the OEM turbo since you should not be pushing enough boost to need it. Previously had to order it separate of the turbo, but now they come standard on new turbos they sell.

I actually emailed them to ask about it today. They told me it should be fine on the stock turbo as long as it's mounted correctly. They did warn that it might cause a CEL that has to be cleared through Hondata.

As far as I am aware, they are the only ones making a BPV replacement. I don't have my ECU jailbroken yet so this will have to wait. And since I don't have my ECU tuned yet, it isn't a huge priority. It's just preventative maintenance for peace of mind.
