Yeahh...FYI, if anyone is reading this and can make use of the info, the stock CBV spring is nasty weak. I have a couple 1G DSM BOV/DVs here, so I cut the top off a 'crushed' one to see what I could do with the innards. Turns out the spring inside is exactly the same height as the 'volvo' CBV spring (since they're mitsu turbos anyway), but is made out of wire almost twice as thick. Also, the CBV 'cap' is pretty much the same shape as the top of the DSM BOV, which has led me to cut and shut an adjustable DSM BOV together. I'll see if it holds vacuum tomorrow .
If it doesn't, I'm definitely going to try the DSM spring inside the volvo CBV. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't, but I won't find out until I try.
