    Boost Bypass Valve?

    blow off valves have a spring inside them which you screw in or out as tension for higher or lower boost. a bypass valve is a fancy name for a blow off valve and is just a plumb back. good luck with it, maybe the valve piston on the bov isnt sealing right if it is set to your boost level. Evan

    Supercharger or Turbo for VX...

    its all personal opinion, unless its being used for racing/trackwork then whatever you feel like is going to give the best results. and if turbos are rice then the commodore thing is a whole nother story. if you like a blower then you will be happier with the results they will give. if you like...

    Interior light

    how could it be illegal to have you light on while driving when people and police (still people but i wonder about some) have them lit so the passenger can use the map, or in newer model cars they use a seperate light for the passenger vanity mirror.
